I'll be honest, I’m a Coffee shop Rio/Costa Vida addict. It’s rare which i go greater than a week without eating at among the two. All of their entrees are extremely filled with exciting flavors they keep me returning for more. Since I Have eat there frequently I figured maybe it’s time for you to create another copycat recipe. Certainly one of my personal favorite items to get there's the shredded chicken salad or shredded chicken tacos, here is my form of that chicken.
This chicken is really easy to create! Should you haven’t observed, I really like my slow oven. You just add in a couple of ingredients with some spices, after which let it prepare low and slow all day long as the flavors meld together and wallah! It almost appears to get affordable to be real doesn’t it? It will all of the effort.
This Shredded Chicken recipe isn't just for use like a taco filling but in addition for burritos, enchiladas, salads, quesadillas, taquitos, etc. So, should you don’t utilize it all of the first night you are making it you should use the remaining chicken to create a different entree the following night, bonus! I think you'll love this unique shredded chicken that's so incredibly tender and full of the prefect mixture of flavors and spices. Whether it is your visit chicken filling for a lot of of the favorite Mexican dishes! Enjoy!

Anonymous 2 That's a good question =). I believe before I chose to make this it offered about 7 people and so i would say you’ll wish to accomplish about 5x the recipe. You also most likely already understood however, you’ll wish to divide it from a couple of crock pots. Hopefully helps and I think you'll enjoy! April 28, 2012 at 1:39pm Reply

Anonymous: hi, is this made in advance and frozen for any party? May 17, 2012 at 2:31pm Reply
Jaclyn. Anonymous it most likely could (I’ve never attempted) but I would suggest which makes it fresh because fresh is definitely better. I’ve even carried this out overnight if you want it for supper. You can just prepare it for that 8 hrs overnight then transform it to warm each morning until lunchtime. The truly amazing factor relating to this dish though could it be’s minimal efforts, really you simply throw everything within the slow oven then essentially be done with it although it does all of the effort so it's an excellent meal for everyone a celebration =). We do hope you enjoy. May 17, 2012 at 9:08pm Reply

Anonymous: I'm a single Father and want ideas the children will eat. All of them love chicken so chose to make this and tried on the extender to create enchiladas, quesadillas and taquitos over the past weekend. Great, easy recipe. Thanks a lot for posting! I do not know what Coffee shop Rio is but it should be good! (as well as on a river!) September 20, 2012 at 1:14pm Reply
Jaclyn. Anonymous you’re very welcome =)! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and tried on the extender for various entrees. I really like the flexibility of the chicken. They will use it at Coffee shop Rio (River =) to create salads, burritos, tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas. That’s one factor I really like about this, you can use it in excess of one meal and also you don’t need to consume the same factor the following night by switching up. It's also wise to try the Shredded Beef Tacos on my small site, also another versatile scrumptious recipe. Just comment! September 22, 2012 at 9:01am Reply
Loudoun Travel. Simply wanted to prevent by and express gratitude with this scrumptious recipe. We'd it tonight also it would be a success.

I’m pleased to state that this recipe was EASYeven for all of us nitwits also it am good that even my picky family ate up and requested for seconds/thirds. Appreciate discussing this.

Jaclyn. Loudoun Travel Interesting comment, I’m so glad your loved ones loved this recipe! It’s really things i’m getting for supper tonight =). It’s among the meals I make most frequently since it’s simple and easy , delish and that i are able to get two meals from it if it is just my small family eating. I really like slow oven meals.

Jaclyn. Anonymous I wouldn’t recommend it simply because that is among the best areas of the recipe the raw chicken has all day long to prepare and marinate within the scrumptious spices and flavors. Its cheaper to make use of chicken breasts also it’s most likely simpler too since you don’t need to carve around bones and take away skin and so on. Hopefully helps! October 11, 2012 at 8:21pm Reply
Dana: This recipe is definitely the very best which i’ve available on foodgawker. I give this dish 5 stars because of the versatility and endless ways to use scrumptious shredded chicken. Thanks Jaclyn! The month of january 5, 2013 at 4:06pm Reply

Jaclyn. Crockpot I purchased a cuisinart and loved my crockpot better since the cruisinart had lots of steam evaporate the sides round the lid (since it didn’t fit well) and that i were left with dry food. The crockpot is the one which seals around the sides here:

It’s nothing durable, If only the frame would be a better build you are able to tell it’s relatively inexpensively however i love the actual way it cooks stuff. June 21, 2013 at 6:19pm Reply

alana: Hey Jaclyn, what slow oven do u recommend. I don’t get one:( October 12, 2013 at 10:29am Reply
Jaclyn. I've that one and that i like it: world wide web.amazon . com.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL600S-6-Quart-Portable-Stainless/dp/B003HF6PUO it cooks things very well and that i love the way the lid seals on so that all the moisture inside isn’t evaporating from the sides while things prepare. The only real factor If only it had may be the programable timer so the next time I’ll most likely have this one: world wide web.amazon . com.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL610-S-Programmable-Carry-Oven/dp/B004P2NG0K October 12, 2013 at 8:30pm Reply
Dora: I'm wondering basically may use an entire chicken rather from the chicken white meat The month of january 3, 2014 at 12:10pm Reply
Jaclyn. That will work fine, I'd work into portions first and that i would most likely recommend while using light dressing (that we from time to time use the chest too) just to scale back around the oils because the whole chicken has more fat. The month of january 12, 2014 at 9:30pm Reply
Ruth: I'm causeing this to be at this time, only used 1 teaspoon of chili powder since 1 Tablespoon seemed like an awfully lot and that i didn’t need it so spicy, I’m not able for everyone it to my toddler. Anybody experience it being too spicy using the added suggested chili powder AND red pepper cayenne. August 2, 2014 at 11:52am Reply
