For an extra layer of smoky heat, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. To thicken the sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking or stir in a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water after shredding the chicken. If you prefer a milder flavor, use a mild salsa or reduce the amount of chili powder. This dish is also great with chicken thighs. Just adjust the cooking time as needed.
