Notes

Made with Frozen Chicken

You can make this with medium size frozen boneless skinless breasts. They need to be separated from one another, add, overlapping as little as possible. Coat with sauces. Cook on low for 6 hours or until easy to shred with 2 forks. Then follow rest of instructions above.
