When I found this recipe it had my curiosity and sounded good but also sounded strange because I never mixed Mexican food with pasta. Figured I would give it a try and it is very good.

I use the jumbo pasta shells often...for lunch, I stuff them with chicken, tuna or ham salad and drizzle them with a bit of ranch or other dressing. A nice alternative to a sandwich, and just as easy to pack up and take for lunch!

i made this recipe last night, it said you could cover and store the stuffed shells over night.
i tweeked it, i cooked 3 chicken breasts in the crockpot yesterday morning with a 1/2 cup of water.
shredded great when it was done and cool.
i also didn't have any chili powder, so i used a package of chicken taco seasoning..mixed up with a 1/2 cup of warm water..then add it to the pan, to mix in with the other ingredients..
i will know tonight if we all like it! just have to cook it 15 minutes or so, longer,coming from the fridge!

I cook chicken breasts in the crockpot to make chicken salad. I also toss some onion, carrots, garlic, celery, tiny bit of salt & peppercorns when I have these ingredients on hand. They shred so easily with a fork and the taste great this way.

At Thanksgiving I had 4 or 5 crockpots going for keeping appetizers warm - borrowed them from guests who came. Worked out great and saved oven & stove space. Since we are in FL we ate outside (on screened porch) and I had a table set up outside for the crockpots.
