Easy Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken

Easy shredded chicken made with a slow cooker or crock pot!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4 large chicken breasts)
• salt and pepper to taste (don't be stingy here!)
• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Put everything in a slow cooker and give it a toss to evenly distribute seasonings.
2. 2Cook on low for 6-8 hours until chicken is tender and cooked through.
3. 3Remove lid and let chicken cool for 10 minutes or so before shredding (so we don't burn ourselves!)
4. 4Use two forks to shred the chicken right in the crockpot. The chicken will absorb any liquid in the pot as you shred it.
5. 5Serve immediately or let chicken cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
