Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    This recipe calls for boneless, skinless chicken thighs for two reasons. One, they’re affordable, and two, they shred the best without getting overly dry.
  • tip 2
    Leave the seeds in your jalapeño peppers if you prefer more spice. If not, remove the seeds before throwing the peppers in the slow cooker.
