Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add chicken to the slow cooker and sprinkle with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour in chicken broth, adding enough to just cover the chicken (if a little peaks out at the top that's ok).
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
  • Remove chicken from broth and shred. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. 

Notes

Note: You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer. You may also use water or a mix of water and chicken bullion rather than chicken broth.
