Sweet and Spicy Slow-Cooker Chicken

Sweet and Spicy Slow-Cooker Chicken

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (14-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, I used 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

Coat the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Place all ingredients in the crockpot. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8-10 hours, or until chicken shreds very easily with a fork. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Chicken will absorb liquid after it is shredded.)
Serve in tacos or however your little heart desires.

Notes

Freezable Meal: I freeze the leftovers in a freezer-safe container and let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving the next day. I reheat over medium-low heat in a saucepan on the stove.
