Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) Thighs are preferred for darker meat and more fat
  • 1 cup Italian salad dressing Feel free to experiment with different dressings
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated gives the best texture and flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Pour the Italian salad dressing over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated.
  3. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top, making it as even as possible.
  4. Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  5. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker and stir it into the sauce before serving.
