I got this recipe from an old school 5 ingredient or less crock pot cook book. I made this for our community group last night. I ALWAYS shred the chicken that I crock pot, I've said this several times before. I was a little nervous making this for 10+ people {I doubled the recipe}. 1. Because I have never made it before and 2. That's some wiiierd ingredients! Haha. This was a hit served on top of whole grain rice and a splash of soy sauce!
