In the winter when it’s too cold to grill chicken (because that’s my favorite way to have chicken) I use the slow cooker!
I love this because I can put a whole bag of frozen chicken (or however much I’ll need for that week) into the slow cooker, on low for 8-10 hours. My house smells so good, like a rotisserie and the chicken falls apart so well! Makes it REALLY easy to throw the chicken into a casserole later in the week.
Now in about 3-4 hours the chicken will look done. But if you take it out, it will be tough. So even though it’s on low for 8-10 hours, at about 6 hours it will be falling apart tender!
If I need some that night, I take it out, shred it and put it right into my meal. The rest, I shred, put in a glass container with a lid and sometimes I’ll put in some chicken juice as well. Put it in the frig and it is good to go for the rest of the week!
Hope this works for you!
