Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal chicken seasoning (or salt and pepper, to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Add chicken broth and top chicken with seasonings and butter.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours. After 3 hours, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. The chicken should be between 155 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature will continue to heat as it rests, so it's fine to remove it before it reaches the full 165 degrees).
  4. Remove chicken from crockpot and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Shred with forks or meat claws.
  5. Return shredded chicken to Crockpot and combine with juices and keep warm until ready to serve.
