- Use tongs to remove the chicken from the cooker and set aside on a cutting board or platter. Use two forks to shred the chicken.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the sauce together with 80ml (1/3 cup) water or chicken stock. Continue cooking on LOW for another hour or until the chicken is warmed through. Check the seasoning, adding salt and pepper if needed and serve.
