Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken by Nicolette Crowley

Sweet and Spicy Slow Cooker Chicken: (makes 4-6 servings)
Ingredients:
1 pound (2-3) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can (14 ounce) diced tomatoes
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I added more because I like the spice)

Instructions:
1) Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
2) In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, brown sugar and red pepper flakes. Pour over the chicken.
3) Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-6 hours (or on low for 8-9 hours).
4) Remove the chicken to a cutting board and shred with two forks (you could just as easily just do this inside the slow cooker).
5) Return to the slow cooker and mix the chicken with the sauce.
6) Serve on flour tortillas or buns and top with lettuce, sour cream, avocados...etc!

**You can also freeze some of the chicken if you don't think you'll eat it all right away
