Notes

The easiest way to shred the chicken is with a handheld mix on low. Takes about two minutes for an easy mess-free method! Be sure to keep it on low though, if you turn the mixer any higher though be prepared for a spluttery mess!

The dijon mustard adds a little depth of flavor to the gravy to make it extra delicious. I highly recommend it!

If you prefer a thicker gravy, make a slurry using one tablespoon cornstarch and one tablespoon COLD water. Whisk until combined, pour into crockpot and mix well. Allow the mixture to cook for another 30 minutes before serving.
