Just take 3 or 4 chicken breasts, add them into the slow cooker with the cream of chicken soup, and let it cook on low for 3 to 4 hours.
Before you are ready to serve, add in the remaining ingredients and let everything cook together for 10 – 15 minutes.

Making This Recipe Using Chicken Tenderloins
If you are buying a pack of chicken tenderloins at the store (they normally come in a pack of 7), you will get 3 cups of cooked shredded chicken.
Place the tenderloins in a Dutch oven and cover them with either water or chicken broth and turn the heat to medium high.
Let the ingredients come to boil, reduce the heat to medium and let everything cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until the chicken is done (registers 165 on a meat thermometer).
