Equipment

  • Crockpot
  • Meat Thermometer
  • Forks (for shredding)

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water with bouillon cube
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Optional Flavor Boosters

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning optional
  • 1 tsp paprika optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese or sour cream optional, stirred in at end for creaminess

Instructions
 

  • Trim excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (plus any extras).
  • Place the chicken in the bottom of the crockpot in a single layer.
  • Pour chicken broth (or other liquid) over the chicken. It should come about halfway up the sides of the breasts.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F internally and shreds easily with two forks.
  • Shred or slice the chicken directly in the crockpot and mix it with the juices for added flavor.
  • Serve warm with your choice of sides, or use in sandwiches, tacos, rice bowls, or pasta.

Notes

Want a BBQ version? Swap broth for BBQ sauce. For creamy garlic, stir in cream cheese and garlic at the end. For a Mexican twist, add salsa and taco seasoning. These recipes adapt easily to your family's preferences and your pantry's limits.
