  3. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred using two forks. Discard any remaining bones or cartilage.
  4. Return shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the balsamic sauce.
  5. Cook an additional 15 minutes on low to allow flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
