Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Add the first 9 ingredients in a slow cooker: chicken, broth, onion, garlic, chipotle, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and salt. Add lime juice if preferred. Gently toss to combine.
  2. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the chicken is completely tender and shreds easily with a fork. If you prefer that the chicken be more crispy, you can transfer the meat into a baking pan, pour the juice on top and broil for 5-10 minutes. We skip this step.
  3. Serve on tacos, burritos, salads, rice, etc.
  4. Crush the Chedz sticks into fine crumbs using a rolling pin, Magic Bullet or food processor. Sprinkle to taste for an extra cheesy crunch.
  5. Garnish with cilantro if preferred.
Recipe Notes

The chicken can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days, or frozen in a sealed container for up to 3 months.

  2. Line a baking pan with foil.
  3. Lay chips on the baking pan without touching.
  4. Crush Chedz into fine crumbs with a rolling pin, food processor or Magic Bullet.
  5. Top each chip with Chedz crumbs. The amount will depend on how large the chips are so it can range from 1/8 to 1/4 tsp but it can be done to taste.
  6. Top each chip with shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice). The cheese on top will help hold the Chedz crumbs down. Similar to the Chedz crumbs, the amount of cheese will vary per chip size and by taste.
  7. Bake in the oven for about 3-5 minutes until the cheese has melted. Take out and let crisp.
Recipe Notes

Chedz chips are best eaten on the same day as the chip can get soft after day two or three.
