Servings: 7 cups
Calories: 169kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts*
- 3/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in crockpot (this is the slow cooker that I use).
- Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-6 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and shreds easily with a fork. You can use an instant read thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reaches a safe 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker, leaving the broth in the pot. Let the chicken cool slightly and then shred the chicken. Stir in about 1/2 cup of the broth from the pot for flavor and moisture.
Notes
*You may use 2 pounds of chicken to make about 4 1/2 cups of cooked shredded chicken.
Cooked shredded chicken will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or 2-3 months in the freezer. Cool completely before freezing, and freeze in an airtight container labeled with the use-by date.
