Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker, shred them with two forks, and return them to the slow cooker.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens.
