Sure, I usually had to do so for baking. But for cooking  I loved tossing in a glug of this here, a pinch of that there, a handful of that here, and a sprinkle of that there. Its definitely my favorite way to cook. And arguably, its the way that people have cooked for most of history and still continue to cook today in most countries around the world. But hey, theres also something to be said for a good, specific, predictable, tried and true recipe. So today I thought Id share one that began as a dump everything in a crock pot and see what happens, and actually turned out so good that I went back afterwards to measure everything in order to share it with you.

I actually made this one for a cooking class I taught a few months ago at my church. I wrote about it on here once before, but basically it was a serious taco a thon complete with 3 homemade salsas and 3 homemade fillings. The salsas included my favorite restaurant style salsa, tomatillo salsa verde, and 5 ingredient mango salsa. And the fillings included a spontaneous sweet potato and black bean saute and my crispy slow cooker carnitas. And. this chicken. We only had a little over an hour to cook together, so I prepped the carnitas and chicken in the slow cooker. But I hadnt planned out how to season the chicken, so I did some experimenting. Nothing like trying out a recipe on 2. Thankfully, it came out even better than I expectedHere are the steps Begin with a bunch of chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but Id like to try boneless dark meat next time for extra flavor. Pour in a bunch of salsa verde, either homemade or store bought. And if you like spicy food, I would also recommend adding in a jalapeno or two here with the stem removed. Then add in a bottle of beer. I had our local wheat beer on hand, but Modelo Negro or a Corona might be a little more apropos for this recipe. Pumpkin Puree Recipes. And then add the step that I didnt photograph cumin You definitely want cumin to help round out the flavor profile and bring in a little of that earthy, peppery goodness. Cover and cook for 3 4 hours on high heat or 6 8 hours on low heat. Then once the chicken shreds easily with a fork, shred it all up and give it a good toss with those juices that remain. And then serve it up however sounds good. I loved this one with just your simple street taco toppings chopped fresh cilantro and white onion on corn tortillas which are gluten free. Of course, its also all the better when topped with a few slices of fresh avocado, a heaping spoonful of extra salsa, and a sprinkle of some crumbly cheese. Or whatever sounds lovely. Really, this shredded chicken will taste good with just about anything. So get creative, and give it a try. Yield About 6 8 servings.
