Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 1/2 - 3 1/⏱️ 2 hours on high, or ⏱️ 5-6 hours on low.

To ensure your chicken is cooked through, check the internal temperature using an instant-read digital thermometer. Chicken needs to reach a minimum internal temperature of 165F to be safe to eat.

Once the chicken is cooked through, use two forks to shred all of the chicken breasts. Stir them into the juices, letting the chicken absorb the liquid.
