Notes
- If you’re sensitive to sodium or find canned ingredients too salty, use low-sodium or no-sodium versions of the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. Then season with salt to your own taste at the end.
- For best results, cook this recipe on low. Cooking on high is not recommended because the chicken won’t become quite as tender.
- If you need to cook it on high, cook for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Always check the internal temperature when cooking meat in the slow cooker—never rely on time alone for doneness.
- Just keep in mind that chicken cooked on high may be fully cooked, but it may not be as tender or easy to shred as chicken cooked low and slow.
