Instructions

Combine all the spices in a small bowl and mix to evenly combine.
Add chicken broth to slow cooker, then add chicken breasts. Pour half the seasoning over the chicken and then flip over to add the rest of the seasoning on top of chicken.
Place lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low setting for 8 hours or on high setting for 4 hours.
Once it’s ready, use tongs to remove chicken and place on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken breasts. Add the shredded chicken back into the crockpot and stir to combine with all the liquid. Use immediately or store in airtight container for use throughout the week.
