This easy Shredded Chicken recipe makes moist, tender chicken that's perfect for meal prep, quick dinners, or adding to your favorite weeknight meals.

Ingredients

3.5-4 lbs chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, $7.84)

1 Tbsp olive oil ($0.19)

1 tsp salt ($0.02)

1 tsp black pepper (freshly cracked, $0.08)

1 tsp onion powder ($0.05)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

2 cups chicken broth ($0.20*)

Instructions

1 Gather your ingredients.

2 Season the chicken

3 Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Then, rub with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

4 Add to slow cooker

5 Add chicken to slow cooker.

6 Cook on high

7 Pour chicken broth over the top and cook on high in the crockpot for 4 hours.

8 Shred the chicken

9 Remove breasts from the crock pot and shred with 2 forks.

10 To keep the meat moist, you can add back some of the seasoned broth from the crock pot, but I find soaking it in that much liquid after cooking results in mushy pulled chicken. Freeze any leftover broth for future recipes!

11 Serve warm in the crock pot or cold for chicken salad. This shredded chicken can be used however you prefer, and it’s great for meal prep!
