Shredded Chicken with Veggies & Rice

This recipe is part of my slow cooker shredded chicken series. This is also a great recipe for using leftover shredded chicken.

Watch the video on how to make this dish here:

The time-saving tip for this recipe is to use cooked chicken and cooked pasta that you would have prepped at an earlier time. I like to throw 5-6 raw chicken breasts into a slow cooker with a splash of water and cook on high for 4-5 hours. Once it is done, then I shred it and put it into the freezer or store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
