    Slow Cooker Mango Salsa Chicken from 5DollarDinners.com
    Lately, I’ve been a bit addicted to slow cooker shredded chicken – and adding as many great and delicious flavors as possible. This Mango Salsa chicken is PHENOM-ENAL. It’s the perfect about of sweet and spicy, thanks to the salsa and fresh mango.

    Let it slow cook the day away, then you just shred the chicken with 2 forks and spoon it all into flour or corn tortillas, taco shells, or onto a pile of rice. YUMMMMM-ilicious!

    Also, I love to do half and half of white and dark meat chicken when I make shredded chicken like this. For 4 servings, you’ll need 1 or 2 chicken breasts (depending on their ounces) and 4 chicken thighs. I also recommend doubling up on this and making enough for a second meal – you could “repurpose” this shredded chicken for soup, enchiladas, haystacks…or just have more tacos!
