- Tips:
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- To dry out canned sweet potatoes, place them back in the empty pot on the stovetop for 1-2 minutes after draining.
- Cook chicken breasts in an Instant Pot or slow cooker for easy shredding.
- Taste the filling and adjust salt as needed, but keep in mind that the cream of chicken soup already contains salt.
