Notes

For a richer flavor, brown the chicken breasts in a skillet before placing them in the crockpot. This adds depth and seals in the juices. To prevent the chicken from drying out, avoid overcooking it – it should be easily shreddable. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers!
