Personal Flair and Reflections
 This recipe came about as a last minute "use what I have in the kitchen because it's time to go to the grocery store." It turned out quite yummy!
When I try this again, I think I would like to add some shredded cheese (mozzarella perhaps) to the mixture.

Family Friendly Tip
I had a friend get me started on doing this: buy a large pack of chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts in crock pot, cover with chicken broth, and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Shred with tongs or fork (it will fall apart super easy!!) Let cool. Separate into 2 cup portions. Freeze. It makes for easy thawing of already cooked, shredded chicken. This tip will help you skip step number 3 :)
