Notes

If you'd like to include vegetables, you can add them towards the end of the cook time (timing depends on the vegetable).

For example, Michelle Hoover suggests:

Spinach. Add chopped spinach at the end of the cook time so it will easily wilt into the shredded chicken.

Zucchini. You can add chopped zucchini at about the last hour of cooking.
