I only made the chicken portion of the recipe, but it turned out great. I used frozen chicken breasts and just put them in the crock pot while still frozen. The chicken shredded easily and was very moist. It goes well in a tortilla shell and on a salad. I think it would make excellent nachos as well.

I was excited to try this recipe, but was a little concerned the Sriracha sauce was going to add a bit more kick than the kids could handle, but it came out perfect with no real spicy level. I couldn't quite get 2 lbs of chicken, so i added a little more of all the chicken with the exception of the Sriracha sauce. A fantastic dish. The Sweet Chili Mayo was good as well, however I added about 3 or 4 teaspoons of lime juice vs just one. Definitely an easy recommendation on this one! Even my very picky daughter loved it!
