For a richer flavor, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. You'll need to increase the cooking time accordingly and remove the bones and skin before shredding. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese. Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses would all be delicious. Add some heat by including a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce. This dish is even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

May 18, 2025My slow cooker runs hot, so I cooked it on low for about 3 hours, and it was perfect. Just be sure to check the chicken and potatoes for doneness.
