Pulled Chipotle Chicken with Cilantro Slaw

Really not sure why most recipes aren't just crock pot?? Again I changed this to make it a crockpot recipe. It was super fast, easy and most importantly delicious!! I just ate it how it looks on the picture but my  family enjoyed it with toasted bread (like a bbq chicken slaw sandwich) and it would be great in corn tortillas too. of course!Original recipe used mayo but I substituted for greek yogurt and some honey
