Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker bowl and mix together. Nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on "High" for 4 hours, or on "Low" for 6 hours.
  • Remove the chicken breasts into a bowl, and using forks, gently pull the chicken apart to shred the chicken.
  • Using an immersion blender, blend the tinga sauce until smooth.
  • Now add the shredded chicken back into the sauce and thoroughly mix together. Cook on low for an additional 6-10 minutes to warm through.
