  4. Use the slow cook function, adjust it to the low setting, and cook for about 4-5 hours (exact time will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are). Check your chicken at 4 hours to avoid drying it out.
  5. Shred the chicken up in the gravy, and serve over mashed potatoes with your favorite sides!
