Ingredients

  • 1 Jar 505 Southwestern Sauce I like mild
  • 2-2.5 lbs Chicken breast

Instructions

  • In a large slow cooker, pour the 505 sauce over your chicken and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2.
  • If you have a meat thermometer, check your chicken at the thickest part to be sure you've reached 165 degrees F. 
  • Take chicken out of slow cooker and place on a large sheet pan. Allow to rest for 10 minutes. 
  • Break the chicken into large chunks and place in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attached. 
  • Whisk for 20 seconds or until chicken is your desired consistency.
  • Put the chicken back in the slow-cooker to absorb all the sauce. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Notes

If it's just my family eating (4 people) I put half in a ziploc, date it, and throw it in the freezer for dinner another night.
