Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ⅔ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning evenly over the chicken.
- Pour the chicken broth over the seasoned chicken.
- Cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board.
- Shred the chicken using two forks.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to soak up the juices.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Always return the chicken to the cooking to keep the chicken from drying out
- Lessen the paprika for if your family isn't a huge fan of spice (however, I don't find this recipe to be very spicy)
- Add a block of cream cheese an hour before done cooking to get creamy chicken
