3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Add chicken thighs (boneless, skinless) (2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, seasoned with garlic, herbs, and salsa or marinara) to the slow cooker. Set to 200°F (93°C).
2
Slow Cook
Cook for 240–300 mins. Keep lid on; do not stir unless specified.
3
Check & Rest
Thigh meat shreds apart under gentle fork pressure with rich, succulent moisture throughout. Confirm internal temperature reaches 175°F–180°F (79°C–82°C) tender dark meat. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Pro Tip: Boneless thighs are far more forgiving than chicken breasts; they stay juicy even if left in the slow cooker for an extra hour.
