Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours.

When cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them. Stir back into the crockpot and add the cheese over the top.

Let cook another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Serve garnished with fresh herbs, avocado, chopped red onion, sour cream, or plain yogurt.
