Directions:
Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Place chicken into a 6-qt slow cooker.

Add mushrooms during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred, using two forks.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in potato starch and sauté about 1 minute.
