  • Then, add the chicken breasts to the crock and spoon the sauce mixture over the top.
  • Secure the cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.
  • When the chicken is done cooking, carefully shred it using two forks. Alternatively, you can put it into a stand mixer with the paddle attachment to break up the meat.

Notes

  • Frozen chicken breast should be thawed before being cooked in a slow cooker. We do not recommend cooking chicken from frozen.
  • Chicken should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165-degrees F according to FoodSafety.gov.
  • This can also be cooked on low for 6-½ hours.
  • You can add 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning to the chicken as it cooks for extra Tex-Mex flavor
