Step by Step Method

Step 1

Place the onion slices in the bottom of a crockpot. Place the chicken on top of the slices. Drizzle butter over the chicken.

Step 2

Shake the seasonings over the chicken (except for the cornstarch and 1/4 C water). Cook on low about 8 hours, or high 4 hours (if your chicken breasts are smaller, cook for less time).

Step 3

Remove chicken from slow cooker, de-bone (if necessary) and shred; place in a serving dish.

Step 4

Strain the juices into a small pot, bring to a simmer. Combine the cornstarch and cold water and add to the juices to thicken, simmering for a few minutes.
