Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the stock over the chicken then sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook on low heat until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 155°F, about 2 1/2 to 4 hours.
- Place the whole cooked breasts in a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed shred the chicken. Alternatively, shred the chicken with two forks or let cool and shred with your fingers. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker to absorb any remaining juices. Use in a a recipe or portion and freeze the remaining chicken in airtight containers for up to 6 months. Defrost before using.
Notes
- If using frozen chicken breasts, you will need to cook for up to 8 hours. Be aware that using frozen chicken in the slow cooker may increase the likelihood of food-borne illness, be careful to cook to 165°F if using frozen chicken.
