Made these Thursday night… I think I used too big of a wrap. But packed it with cheese for my partner and veggies for me and it was definitely one of his favourite! First time doing shredded chicken, if an easier way without a slow cooker in here for it pleaseeeee!!! Loved the sauce that went with it and definitely will cook again

You can poach the chicken on the stovetop: bring to simmer for 15–20 mins until cooked, then shred. So glad you both enjoyed it!
