Recipe Tips
- Chicken breasts cook faster than many people expect in a slow cooker. Begin checking for doneness around the 4-hour mark on LOW.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Chicken is done when it reaches 165°F.
- If you'll be away all day, boneless skinless chicken thighs are a better choice since they stay moist during longer cooking times.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing or shredding.
Variations
- Add sliced onions.
- Toss in mushrooms.
- Stir in pepperoncini for Italian-style chicken.
- Add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
- Finish with chopped fresh parsley or basil.
