We had already shown you how to cook:
Now it’s the turn of the kitchen gadget that we owned first = the slow cooker. We first got our slow cooker as a second-hand gift back in early 2004. Since then it has travelled with us. We brought it to Portugal with us when we moved over from the UK. As well as this it has been on many family holidays with us too.
It’s only a small one and even has a chip in the lid but we would be lost without it.
It also works perfectly for cooking slow cooker shredded chicken in.
What I love about slow cooker shredded chicken compared to air fryer or instant pot shredded chicken, is the simplicity. A few basic ingredients are thrown into the slow cooker and then the slow cooker does the work for you. Plus, the tell tale that it is cooked, is the fact that the chicken aroma smells out the house.
All of a sudden, your nose gets excited by the smell and everyone is suddenly asking if dinner is going to be ready soon!!!

You can literally throw them in like you do with a dump and go slow cooker meal. No need to mix them just throw them in and put the lid on the Slow Cooker.
#2 Mix & Shred
After 3 hours on high in the slow cooker, get the chicken out, shred it and place it back in the slow cooker. Using your hands (as long as its not too hot) mix the chicken and the tomatoes.
#3 Final Slow Cook
Then for a final 30 minutes cook the shredded chicken on low. This will help reduce the liquid and give you an amazing final Mediterranean shredded chicken recipe.
