Preparation
Step 1
Add everything to a large slow cooker and stir well to combine.
Step 2
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
Step 3
Once done cooking, remove chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cutting board; shred chicken with two forks then transfer chicken back to slow cooker and stir.
Step 4
Taste and add salt and pepper to your liking (I don't find that adding either is necessary due to all the flavors happening). Serve with fresh cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips and greek yogurt or sour cream.
Step 5
