    I just found a recipes for shredded chicken wraps.

    Put thawed chicken breasts in the crockpot and cover with salsa. It says to add taco seasoning but I tried fajhita seasoning also and it tasted great. Cook on low for 6 hours and you should be able to shred the chicken. Serve on tortillas with whatever you like.

    I'm making a Crock pot Buffalo chicken lettuce wrap tonight for dinner,

    Ingredients:

    For the chicken:

    24 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
    1 celery stalk
    1/2 onion, diced
    1 clove garlic
    16 oz fat free low sodium chicken broth
    1/2 cup hot cayenne pepper sauce (I use my homemade hot sauce but Frank's works good.)

    For the wraps:

    6 large lettuce leaves, Bibb or Iceberg
    1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
    2 large celery stalks, cut into 2 inch matchsticks

    Directions:

    In a crock pot, combine chicken, onions, celery stalk, garlic and broth (enough to cover your chicken, use water if the can of broth isn't enough). Cover and cook on high 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.

    Remove the chicken from pot, reserve 1/2 cup broth and discard the rest. Shred the chicken with two forks, return to the slow cooker with the 1/2 cup broth and the hot sauce and set to on high for an additional 30 minutes. Makes 3 cups chicken.

    To prepare lettuce cups, place 1/2 cup buffalo chicken in each leaf, top with 1/4 cup shredded carrots, celery and dressing of your choice. Wrap up and start eating!

    I got this recipe from Skinnytaste.com

    I like to put a whole chicken in the crock pot. I stuff some chunks of onion in the cavity, sprinkle on some herbs and put a little dry sherry the pot, then cook on low while I'm at work. It seems less greasy, and I assume it has quite a bit less sodium than deli rotisserie chicken, but it's similar in taste/texture and almost as easy.

    Cilantro lime shredded chicken taco filling - easy, yummy, very low in calories. Do use fresh cilantro. Dried just isn't quite the same. I didn't use 3 pounds of chicken. It turned out fine with less. It would freeze fine, but it didn't last that long at my house.

    5-6 frozen chicken breasts, add a can of chopped canned pineapple (you can drain some of the juice) and then cover with bbq sauce. Cook on low 6-8 hours. It will be easy to pull apart. You can eat it like that or add it on a bun.

    bump!

    P.S. - I made the "Crockpot Buffalo Shredded Chicken" last night which someone mentioned earlier in this thread - the one with a bottle of Frank's hot sauce and a packet of ranch dressing powder. It was great! I highly recommend it.

    A nice easy one, put a whole chicken in on medium power for about 4 hours. Then remove the skin and the bones (they should just fall out), pour off the fat and juices then shred the meat and add a bbq sauce of your choice, pulled chicken.

    Served in either buns, wraps, lettuce, with salad or rice.

    Boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the crockpot. Add a jar of mushroom spaghetti sauce and cook six hours. You can add fresh mushrooms too. Chicken cacciatore. Serve over whole wheat noodles or rice. This freezes well too.

    Kickin' Chicken Chili

    http://www.bhg.com/recipe/chicken/kickin-chicken-chili/

    Sodium is through the roof, but otherwise it's low fat, low cal. I always use fresh peppers and onions.
