Directions
Click the steps to erase them.
- In a large saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients except the corn starch. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes or until the sauce tastes strong enough (the more water evaporates, the more intense the taste becomes).
- Arrange the onions at the bottom of your slow cooker and place the chicken breasts on top. Cover with the sauce and simmer for 4 hours or until the chicken is cooked and shreds easily.
- Shred the chicken breasts in the sauce using a fork. The chicken is now ready for use, or you can freeze it for later use.
- To prepare the nachos, spread the contents of a large bag on a baking sheet covered with foil. Cover with about 1 lb. (450 g) shredded chicken, then with smoked Gouda cheese. Bake for about 10 minutes at 400°F (250°C). Divide among serving plates then add your choice of toppings!
