Step 1: Prep the Pot. Simply place your chicken breasts at the bottom of your crockpot. Pour the chicken broth and all your seasonings over the top, making sure the chicken is coated.

Step 2: Set it and Forget it. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is done when it's fall-apart tender.

Step 3: Shred it Up. Carefully remove the cooked chicken from the crockpot and place it on a cutting board or in a large bowl. Use two forks to easily shred the chicken to your desired consistency.

Step 4: Serve or Save. Use your delicious shredded chicken immediately in your favorite meals. For meal prep, let the chicken cool completely, then portion it into zip-top bags and store it in the freezer for up to two months.
