Okay. It’s October. Has anyone started Christmas shopping yet? No, please don’t tell me. I don’t really feel like freaking out right now even though I’m already getting slightly anxious about Christmas gifts. Like I do every year because it’s just so hard to buy gifts for people. I’m all about the gift cards. Specifically Amazon gift cards because Amazon = buy all the things + Kindle books.

Anyway. The past two days I’ve been taking an internal training class and it’s called “Fierce Conversations.” It’s basically teaching you how to have difficult but necessary conversations with people you work with and be fierce about it without coming off like Mr. Douchepants. I know some people that need this class more than others. COUGHCOUGH. Moving on. It’s one of those classes that builds your conversational skills and I think everyone should be required to take it.

The best part of class happened yesterday. The instructor was like, “when you think of fierce, what do you think of?” and some lady in the back of the room yelled….

BEYONCÉ.

Hahaha

Instructions 

  • Add the chicken stock to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Place the remaining ingredients through salsa into the slow cooker. Stir to mix.
  • Place chicken breasts on top.
  • Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to top of the chicken breasts.
  • Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until chicken shreds easily.
  • Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred.
  • Add the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and toss everything together.
  • Serve with flour tortillas and whatever toppings you like!

Notes

At the end of the cooking process, the top of the chicken will look black, like it’s burned or something – don’t fret..it’s just the seasoning blackening. Once you turn the chicken over and ‘wash’ it in the liquid in the slow cooker, it’ll all be ok :)
