For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a minced clove of garlic or a pinch of cumin to the slow cooker before adding the chicken. If you prefer shredded chicken, use two forks to easily pull the meat apart after cooking. This shredded chicken is fantastic in tacos, burritos, or salads. The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. Always check the internal temperature to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or a fresh salad. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a bright and flavorful finish.
