There are so many easy ways to use it. I love Mexican food, but not the high calorie count that often comes with it. This easy dish is healthy, delicious and a definite crowd pleaser! I like to serve the chicken with warm tortillas, rice, beans and salsa.

Shredded chicken, barbeque sauce, cheddar cheese squares, and bacon are stacked on top of a flat pretzel.

I used an aged white cheddar and some cherry wood thick smoked bacon and it turned out great!" The very best thing about cooking up a batch of shredded chicken is all the possibilities it brings to mealtime.
