Equipment
- Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 large Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim any visible fat off the chicken breasts and place in a single layer in a crockpot.
- Sprinkle the garlic salt, onion powder, and pepper evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Pour the broth over the seasoned chicken to keep it moist and flavorful as it cooks.
- Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours or high for 3 - 4 hours.
- Once the chicken is tender and fully cooked, remove it from the crockpot and place it on a cutting board or in a large mixing bowl. Use two forks to shred. Alternatively, you could use a handheld mixer to shred the chicken. If the chicken seems dry, ladle a few spoonfuls of the liquid from the crockpot over it and mix well.
