Categories     Main Course

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt ((I use Lawry's))
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts in 2.5-4 quart crockpot. Pour in chicken broth and sprinkle with seasonings.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F minimum) and fall apart tender.
  • Using two forks, gently pull and shred the chicken in the liquid (if your chicken has released a lot of liquid, you may want to remove some liquid before shredding, but save it in case you want to add more back in).
  • Serve as desired or let cool slightly before refrigerating. Cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly sealed, for 3-4 days, or packaged and frozen for 3-4 months.

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
kosher salt, black pepper, and other seasonings as desired (see blog post above for suggestions)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Position the chicken so it's in a single layer and season, if desired (see blog post above for suggestions).
  • Cover and cook medium boneless, skinless chicken breast on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (for other cuts of chicken, such as boneless things, or bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, and for cooking times on HIGH, see the blog post above).
  • Check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. (If you're using bone-in chicken, don't touch the thermometer to the bone.) The chicken should be 165 degrees F (I remove mine 5 to 10 degrees early, since the temperature will rise as it rests). Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can reincorporate (if you plan to shred the right in your slow cooker, you can let it rest there).
  • When the chicken is cooked through, shred it using a hand mixer, two forks, or your fingers. Serve as desired.
