• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

4 lbs chicken breast*

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

3/4 cup chicken stock

1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

Mix together the onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, black pepper, and chicken stock. Rub your chicken with this mixture and place in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Pour the chicken stock and lemon juice over the chicken and cover with the slow cooker lid.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until chicken is tender can easily shred with a fork. You can also do this overnight, just set your slow cooker on low for 4 hours, and make sure that it's automatically set to the warm setting after cook time is finished.

Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days to use for several recipes. Store with some of the liquid to prevent the chicken from drying out. You can also freeze for up to 3 months.
