Cooking times will vary depending on your slow cooker and the size of the chicken breasts that you are using. So always make sure that the chicken breasts are cooked through before serving.
You can leave the chicken breasts whole rather than shredded and then melt some cheese on them 10 minutes before serving.
You could use chicken thighs rather than breasts.

For some extra heat, add some chopped jalapenos to the mix.
