I created these slow cooker Hawaiian chicken tacos for Peapod, which is perfect during busy weeknights because it just simmers away while you’re running errands or driving the kids to their after-school activities. This shredded chicken recipe can be made ahead of time and reheated too, which is always a win-win.

    This was super good and better the next day, especially the salsa. Everyone loved it, they felt it was something different! I happened to have some rotis, so I heated them in the skillet and served the chicken and salsa in those. Delicious, thanks, Jeanette!
