  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is done, remove it and shred it with two forks; return it to the pot.

Notes

For best results, consider using diced chicken thighs for richer flavor. Chill any leftovers and store in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently and add a splash of broth if necessary.
