Crock-Pot Mississippi Chicken

This recipe can be frozen before cooking as a wonderful slow cooker freezer meal. However if you have leftover cooked chicken you can easily freeze this mixture in food safe freezer bags or containers for up to 6 months. Thaw the cooked chicken mixture overnight in the refrigerator or in the microwave for a quick and easy dinner that you just need to heat and serve.

– Bacon – Adding about a cup of chopped cooked bacon to the chicken right before serving tastes fantastic. Bacon makes everything better!
– Cheese – If you want to make this Mississippi Chicken recipe even more cheesier than it already is feel free to add some sliced cheese to your sandwiches or wraps. My favorite cheeses that pair well with this recipe are Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, Mozzarella or Cheddar Cheese. You can even stir in some shredded or grated Parmesan cheese right before serving too!
– Garlic – If you are a garlic lover like me, toss in a couple of minced garlic cloves to the chicken mixture before cooking. 1 or 2 cloves or garlic tastes fantastic but 3 or 4 are divine!
– Onion – Adding a medium sized onion that has been chopped to the chicken mixture before cooking adds another flavor dimension that is out of this world!

– Hamburger Buns – A classic look for yummy buns from the bakery department of your grocery store. If you are on a gluten free diet look for GF buns.
– Tortillas or Wraps – Wrap it up in your favorite tortilla or wrap for a portable sandwich on the go (perfect for eating in the car on a mad dash to that soccer game!). Look for gluten free wraps or low carb wraps if your diet requires them.
– Lettuce Wrap – If you are on a low carb or keto diet use lettuce leaves from such varieties as romaine lettuce or butter lettuce and make wrap and skip the bread.
– Serve over rice – Cook up some white or brown rice and put it in a bowl, spoon some of this yummy chicken mixture over top and eat! Cauliflower rice works great for those on a low carb diet.
– Scoop it up – I like to use halved mini bell peppers and scoop up the chicken mixture and eat like a dip. And of course the bell peppers are low carb!
– Straight up – Put some Mississippi Chicken in a bowl, top with cheese if desired and eat it straight from the bowl with a fork. This is how I usually eat leftovers (if there are any!) for lunch the next day!
