Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 medium onions, peeled, halved with root intact
1 head of garlic, unpeeled, rinsed, halved crosswise
2 bay leaves
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon (or more) kosher salt
1 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix chicken, onions, garlic, bay leaves, broth, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cover and cook until chicken shreds easily when pierced with a fork, about 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
  • Remove chicken from liquid and shred with a fork; taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard vegetables. Store chicken and broth together or separately.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chicken can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill either in broth or separately, or freeze either together or separately up to 6 months.
