Step 1
Combine broth, shallots, fish sauce, brown sugar, chiles (or crushed red pepper) and lime zest in a 6-quart slow cooker. Nestle chicken meat-side down in the broth. Cook on High for 3 hours or Low for 6 hours.
Step 2
Remove the chicken to a clean cutting board. Discard the skin and shred the meat. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and stir in carrots, lime, mint and basil.
Step 3
You can enjoy this three different ways though out the week - ladled with the broth over rice noodles, layered with vegetables on a sandwich or mixed with mayo to make a creamy chicken salad.
