Convert it

Slow-cook the chicken and carrots until tender throughout, then remove every piece of fat, gristle, and dry edge.
Mash the potatoes until moist and smooth, and coat the chicken and carrots in gravy with no thin liquid separation.
Use the side of a fork to cut the chicken and carrots. They should break apart easily without a knife.
Fork-pressure test the actual serving and confirm it squashes and does not regain its shape.

EquipmentSlow cooker, fork for cutting and pressure testing

SLP tipLevel 7 Easy to Chew still requires soft, tender food. It is not the same as an unrestricted regular diet.

Before serving: run the fork pressure test on the finished plate. Recipes guide you to a texture. Only the test confirms it.
