Notes

●If you want the meat to cook quicker, you can switch to the high setting and cook for half the time. However, I have found that this makes the chicken a bit tougher and not as moist.
●This sandwich can pair with so many great toppings. Pickles, ranch, and onions are excellent ways to add variety.
●When you shred the chicken, it is ready to eat. However, if you let it rest at a lower temperature it will give the chicken time to absorb the sauce. It will also allow the sauce to become a lot more creamy as opposed to runny.
●This chicken can be used as a great buffalo chicken dip as well.
