For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken breasts in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This shredded chicken is incredibly versatile! Serve it in wraps, over rice, in salads, or as a filling for tacos. Adjust the amount of curry powder and sriracha to suit your personal spice preference. If you don't have fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted.
