I loved this!I have even started throwing everything in crockpot on LOW for 6-8 hrs. (High may scorch sugar)I cut chicken into strips, "stew" in slow cooker, separate from liquid when done, shred with fork... And serve over a bed of yellow rice.Rice and chicken would probably also make for a wonderful tortilla filling!

Very tasty, and my extremely picky six year old even loved it.
