Notes
Cooking this in the slow cooker instead ? Cook on low heat for 7-8hrs or on high heat for 5hrs
Using the stovetop instead? Place all your chicken in a large saucepan, stockpot or dutch oven, then cover with chicken broth and top with water. Add all ingredients to the pot and cook on medium high heat bringing to a boil. Once it starts boiling lower the heat and let it simmer for about 25 minutes or until chicken reads 165°F on thermometer. Let it cool down and transfer to a bowl and shred with two forks or your hands.
