Our tips:
- When you cook chicken breasts in a slow cooker, you can either cook them on High for 3-4 hours or on Low for 7-8 hours. If you want to shred the chicken breasts, cook them on Low so they don’t dry out.
- When cooking chicken breasts in a slow cooker, always make sure they are completely submerged in liquid. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- If you want a spicier chili, increase the number of red pepper flakes. You can also add more chili powder or cumin to the recipe.
