    • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • 3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
    • 2 large carrots, sliced
    • 2 celery stalks, chopped

Instructions

  • Layer the Ingredients:
    • Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the bottom of your slow cooker.

  • Season and Add Liquid:
    • Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper over the chicken and vegetables.
    • Pour in the white wine and chicken broth. Add the bay leaf.

    • Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
  • Shred the Chicken:
    • Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
