Look at that! See that? It’s amazing!! My mouth is just watering seeing that picture. You most definitely need to make this recipe!

Here’s what you need to make this:

Let’s get cooking!

In a large crockpot, add chicken, milk, heavy cream, chicken stock, garlic, rotel, any additional veggies and creole seasoning then stir to coat chicken.

Cook on high for 2-3 hour, or low for 4-6. Just until the chicken gets to 165°F.

Once cooked, remove and dice (or shred) chicken or use a masher to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot.

You can enjoy as is or garnish with fresh, grated cheese and chopped parsley for an added finish.
