Gently cooking chicken in a flavorful cooking broth helps it become tender and juicy. We go the extra step to make sure the chicken is as juicy and flavorful as possible. Once the chicken is cooked, we transfer the cooking liquid from the slow cooker to a small saucepan and simmer the liquid down by one-third. Spoon some of the concentrated broth over the chicken and save the rest for a light soup later. Makes about 4 cups of shredded chicken You Will Need3 pounds boneless chicken thighs or combination of thighs and breast 1 medium onion, peeled and sliced 4 cloves garlic, peeled and lightly crushed 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper Water Directions
Combine chicken, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, cumin and pepper in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add just enough water to cover the chicken by about 1 inch. Cover with lid and cook on LOW until the chicken is very tender, 4 to 6 hours. Transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once it is cool enough to handle, use two forks or your fingers to shred the meat. After removing the chicken, strain the liquid left in the slow cooker and then transfer it to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by one-third, or until the flavor has concentrated. Spoon about 1 cup of the concentrated cooking liquid over the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Use within 2 to 3 days. Save any remaining liquid for a light soup or use as stock later. Adam and Joanne's Tips

Chicken tenders are usually smaller, thinner cuts of chicken so, less liquid is needed to either cover them in the cooker or provide enough liquid so they don't cook dry.
How long does it take to cook breast tenderloins?Preheat oven to 375°F. 2. Bake frozen tenderloins 30 to 35 minutes or until internal temperature on instant read thermometer reaches 170°F. (Bake thawed tenderloins 18 to 22 minutes.)

The direct heat from the pot, lengthy cooking time and steam created from the tightly covered container destroys bacteria, making slow cooking safe. You can put frozen chicken in a slow cooker, too!
How do you keep chicken tenderloins from drying out?Chicken tenderloins dry out when they get overcooked, so the best way to not dry them out is to not overcook them. One of the best ways to do that is to use a digital meat thermometer.
