FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work well and tend to stay more moist and tender during slow cooking.

Is it necessary to use a slow cooker?

The slow cooker method is best for tender, easy-to-shred chicken, but you can also cook it in a covered pot on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time.
