Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lb)
  • ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Lawry's)
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in a 2.5-4 quart crockpot.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle the seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper over the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F minimum) and tender.
  2. Using two forks, gently pull and shred the chicken in the liquid. If there is too much liquid, you can remove some before shredding, but save it in case you want to add more back in.
Serving
  1. Serve as desired or let it cool slightly before refrigerating.

Notes

Store cooked chicken tightly sealed in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3-4 months. You can customize this recipe by adding vegetables like bell peppers or onions. Use taco seasoning for a taco-style chicken.
