- 1
In a slow cooker with a capacity of 6 quarts or more, combine the chicken, chicken stock, chopped celery, fresh parsley, bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Secure the lid and let it cook until the chicken is tender enough to be easily pulled apart with two forks. This will take approximately 3 to 4 hours on the high setting or 4 to 6 hours on low.

Carefully take out the chicken and discard the other ingredients. If you wish, you can reserve the broth for future use. Use two forks to shred the chicken, then store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze it for as long as 3 months.
