Notes

Cook time may vary with different brands and sizes of slow cookers. Chicken is done when it is 165 degrees internally.

You can shred chicken with 2 forks or an electric mixer and keep it warm in the slow cooker in the last hour before serving.

Use au jus mix instead of onion soup mix, if desired.

If using whole pepperoncini peppers, add 5 or 6 peppers and 1/4 cup juice. You can use sliced peppers, as well.
