Notes
When shredding the chicken in the crock pot, there will be extra juice. As you shred the chicken, it will soak up the juices leaving it utterly delicious! : )
For this recipe, I only use half of the shredded chicken for the smashed potatoes, this leaves me with leftover to make sandwiches. If you are making for a large group of people, double the potatoes. If you do not wish to have leftover chicken, cut the chicken recipe section in half.
