Separate skin and bones from the meat and shred meat. Stir meat back into the slow cooker.Substitute chicken legs for the thighs if preferred, or use turkey.Omit salt for a low-sodium diet. For some heat, add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 jalapeno, chopped.If cooking for less time or on higher heat, mince the garlic to help it absorb faster into the broth.Info | Creamy Mushroom Recipes For Chicken Thighsprep:
