Notes
Stores up to 1 week in refrigerator or freezes for up to 1 year.
Crockpot: Add all ingredients, except the chickpeas, to crockpot. Cook on high for 4 hours or low and slow for 8 hours. The chicken should be very tender and easily shred.
I buy my chicken from Costco, so their chicken breasts are pretty big. The easiest way to shred chicken is in the bowl of a kitchen aid mixer, saves so much time!
I love Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut milk, it has a smoother and more creamy texture than other brands.
If you are vegetarian, omit the chicken.
