Chipotle Shredded Chicken

I made this for a Cinco de Mayo pitch in at work.  Oh goodness was it yummy and everyone loved it! 

Ingredients:
1 packet of Chipotle Beer Marinade
1 bag of frozen chicken breasts, boneless
1 can of beer, your choice
1 can of water, use the beer can

Add beer, water and Chipotle Beer Marinade to a slow cooker.  I recommend using a liner as this does make a bit of a mess of the sides of your crock.  Add your chicken and toss to coat.  Cover and cook on low 8 hours or overnight which is what I did.  Remove the chicken, shred and remove any icky pieces (technical term, haha). Skim the liquid or strain to remove any of the floaties (also a technical term).  Save stray pieces of chicken.  Combine the shredded chicken and liquid.  Serve in burritos, tacos, nachos, etc.  This made enough for at least 20 people to have a taco or two.  I don't quite know exactly how many servings.
