Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken in a 6-quart slow cooker. Rub the taco seasoning all over both sides of each breast, taking about a minute to coat them fully.
  2. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken, cover, and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or on low for 6 to 7 hours, until the meat reaches 165°F (74°C) and shreds easily.
  3. Remove the chicken, shred with two forks, then stir in some of the cooking liquid. Taste, adjust salt, and serve.

Notes

If you prefer cooking on low, set it for 6 to 7 hours. The chicken will still shred beautifully. A quick rest in the warm liquid before shredding makes the meat even juicier.
