Notes
Note: This recipe uses already cooked chicken. I used pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from Costco which is very flavorful and moist. If you bake your own chicken for this, please be careful not to over bake it and dry it out. Also, please be careful to set your Slow Cooker to “warm” and not on the low/high setting accidentally.
