Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 6-8 hours on low or about 4 hours on high.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Set it aside.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk the flour into the melted butter until lightly browned, about 30 seconds.
Whisk in the milk and half and half, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir the shredded chicken and the milk mixture into the slow cooker. If the soup is too thick, add more milk as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with parsley.
