Notes

For the best and freshest flavors, use fresh garlic that you mince yourself instead of pre-minced garlic. It makes a big difference!
Watching your salt intake? Swap out regular soy sauce for low-sodium soy sauce to keep the flavors balanced without the extra salt.
Cooking times can vary depending on your slow cooker model. To make sure the chicken is cooked through, check that it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F with a food thermometer and shreds easily with a fork.
