Preparation

  4. Gently pour the mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender.
  2. Carefully shred the chicken in the slow cooker using two forks.
  3. If desired, stir in sour cream before serving.
