  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into small pieces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker or use a slow cooker liner.

  4. Pour the chicken broth or water around the chicken, then dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 hours or on LOW for 4-6 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds.

Notes

Cooking times may vary based on your slow cooker; always check for doneness. For a creamier sauce, stir in a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream after shredding the chicken.
