For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of jalapeno peppers and red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Serve the Chicken Tinga on crispy tostadas, in tacos, or as a filling for enchiladas. Garnish with your favorite toppings like chopped cilantro, diced onions, crumbled queso fresco, or a dollop of sour cream.
