  • Gently stir to combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
  • Remove the chicken and place on a large cutting board or in a mixing bowl and shred. (Note: you can shred in the slow cooker, I just find it easier to shred it once it's out).
  • Return chicken to slow cooker and stir.

Notes

  • You can substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the chicken thighs. (3-4 chicken breasts is plenty).
  • Freezer friendly: let cool and then freeze for 4-6 months. Defrost the night before you plan to serve it. 
  • Pro tip: use your stand mixer fitted with the flat beater attachment to shred your chicken in 30 seconds! Keep an eye on it because it shreds FAST using this method.
