Notes

I am using left over chicken tacos for this recipe, however you can also slow cook chicken and shred by making these CHICKEN TACOS HERE - double up the recipe and make chicken tacos one night and use left overs for the following night by making this delicious Southwest Chicken Pasta Bake 
 
In a hurry? Try shredding a rotisserie chicken for this recipe it is delicious and so easy! I pick up one almost every time I am at the grocery store
