Step 3

Pour the chicken broth in a stir to combine.

Step 4

Place the lid on and slow cook on high for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until the chicken is cooked through the center.

Step 5

Remove the chicken to a cutting board and rest for 5 minutes before shredding into bite-size pieces.

Step 6

Add the can of cheddar cheese soup, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese then whisk in to combine. Add the shredded chicken and stir.
