    I'm not sure about the Sprite...Why should I use that!? What kind of taste does the Sprite bring to this recipe?! I'm not a fan of sparkle drinks

14. alwaysonthelookout says:

    I tried this recipe tonight with the Splenda Brown Sugar and Diet Sprite...It was WONDERFUL!! Thanks so much for this great recipe! It will definitely go in rotation :)

15. Debbo says:

    Excuse my ignorance, but I'm new to Pinterest. I'm following you, but would like to pin individual recipes, like this one, to my board. How do I do that? Also, when you say any slow cooker recipe can also be done in a beanpot, will you give instructions for this one (order, cooking time, microwave or oven, etc.) so I can transfer the recipe? Just got a bean pot and have not used it yet. Thanks.

    Ok so I made this very apprehensively, as I am not a fan of sweet tasting meats--It was a definite win! Though I did leave out the brown sugar. I set the fixings out for tacos and my husband wanted to just eat the chicken plain because it tasted so good! Thanks for sharing!

18. soccasey says:

    Loved it! Worked well with freezing the leftovers too. I made a bigger pot the second time just for freezer meals :) Thanks for sharing!

19. Candice Warner says:

    in the crock pot! Can't wait for dinner!
    

20. GettingBy says:

    Can you use frozen chicken breast or do they need to be thawed?

21. Camille says:

    I usually use frozen, but either way will work! :)

22. Sara Sandstrom says:

    Oh, thank you for posting! I was wondering if sugar-free options would taste just as yummy. Glad to hear that it worked out for you because now I can't wait to try it!

23. Cassi says:

    anyone know how many pounds of chicken this recipe uses? At my store, 5 chicken breast would be like 5 pounds. surely this isnt calling for 5 pounds... haha

24. Cyd says:

    5 chicken breasts would be about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds.

25. Jennine says:

    Does the cumin make it hot? I love cumin but a tablespoon sounded like a lot so I just did a teaspoon. Also, have you ever tried cooking on high? I didn't get it in on time for low so I'm trying that and hoping it won't dry it out.

26. Cyd says:

    The cumin doesn't really make it hot, just gives it more flavor. You should be fine cooking it on high. Watch it closely to that it doesn't overcook.

27. Jessica says:

    Made this chicken tonight and it was easy and great! I added a little less than half a can of chipotle peppers in adobo and it made a great addition. Will make again :)

28. rose says:

    I have made this before and asked last time if I could use spirit and that was approved by you but new question! I have cherry 7-up on hand what do you think?

29. Cyd says:

    Hi Rose, we can honestly say we have not tried cherry 7up. I think it would work fine, it's the taste that may be altered a little. I don't know how much the cherry flavor would shine through. Be sure to let us know if you try cherry 7Up!! :) You are adding all kinds of new twists to the recipe! That's awesome!!

30. Rose says:

    UPDATE: the cherry 7-up worked just fine. I had forgotten from the last time how much I love this chicken. I will make it again! Thank you!!!

31. Lea says:

    I was wondering how much cornstarch to thicken? It's in the crockpot right now and smells fabulous!

32. Cyd says:

    Start with 1 tablespoon and see if that does the trick. If you want it thicker then add a little more.

33. wendy says:

    Rookie question, I live in Canada we don't have green chillies here what can I substitute it for.

34. Lisa says:

    Is 5 chicken breasts 1 pound or two? 1.5? What do you think you used?

35. Cyd says:

    3 to 4 chicken breasts is about 1 pound. It really depends on the size of your chicken breasts.

36. Rachel says:

    I made this recipe along with 3 other Six Sisters recipes for my sister who is expecting a baby very soon. It is absolutely delicious. I also tried poaching the chicken breasts and then making the sauce on the stove and stirred it into the chicken after shredding the meat and it was just as good and quicker. It is great on a salad, in taco shells, or even inside lettuce wraps. Yum! A keeper for sure.

37. Mary Dawn Meier says:

    Can I double this recipe in one crockpot? Would it cook the same amount of time? Thanks!

38. Momma Cyd says:

    That is 10 chicken breasts and would be pretty crowded. Unless you have a huge crock pot, I would maybe use 2 crock pots or make 2 batches. Once the chicken is shredded you could combine the 2 batches all together in one slow cooker.
