When time is up and chicken is cooked through take chicken out and shred, put back in crockpot and stir in 8oz cream cheese.

We eat it with rice and put the chicken mixture and rice inside a tortilla and roll it up like a burrito.

Thanks to Jennie Newbold for this recipe.
I have a great one. Its kind of my go to when I need to cook. You get 1 bowl and then fill that bowl with the cereal of your choice. Mine is Apple Jacks. You then grab some milk and pour it into the bowl. This is an awesome recipe.
