How to Make Shredded Taco Chicken for Two in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
This Crock Pot Shredded Taco Chicken for Two is great on its own, in a taco, in a burrito, in a taco salad and more. What is even better is that it is super simple to put together and incredibly delicious. If you happen to need more servings, you can find the original recipe here.
If you have taken a peek at the recipe, you will see that the timing isn’t just a range from one rounded out hour or half hour to the next. There is a reason for this. I often find when I am cooking for two that at the hour or half hour mark, it is almost finished but not quite. I learned the hard way that waiting for another half hour to pass, like I would with a bigger recipe, usually ends up in the recipe being overcooked, and I have to start all over again. So, while I know the cooking times look a little wonky, I want to make sure the recipe is written in a way that is going to give you the best chance for success.
