  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours.
  6. Remove chicken and shred it with two forks.
  7. Stir the sauce inside the crockpot until smooth and creamy.
  8. Return shredded chicken to the sauce and mix well.
  9. Let it sit for 10 minutes on warm mode to thicken.
  10. Serve over rice, noodles, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

• Chicken thighs stay juicier, but breasts also work great.
• For extra creaminess, add shredded cheddar or mozzarella at the end.
• Add spinach or peas in the last 20 minutes for a veggie boost.
• For a spicy version, add jalapeños, chili flakes, or a splash of buffalo sauce.
• If sauce is too thick, add a splash of broth or milk.
• Stores well for 3–4 days and freezes up to 3 months.
