Notes
Using a programmable slow cooker prevents the over cooking of boneless skinless chicken breasts but you'll want to make sure you don't discard the cooking juices from the slow cooker.Another option is to use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts which are much harder to overcook due to the extra fat in the meat.For easiest shredding of the chicken, use a hand mixer or stand mixer while the meat is still hot.If you want to make this in the pressure cooker, add 1 cup of chicken stock with the chicken and cook for 9 minutes on high pressure.
