CROCKPOT METHOD

•Season your chicken as desired and add 1/2 cup water or broth per lb of chicken.
•Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and registers an internal temperature of 165°F, 4 to 5 hours on the LOW setting, or 2 to 3 hours on the HIGH setting.
•Let sit 10 minutes and shred.

STOVE TOP

•Add your chicken to a large pot and cover with broth or seasoned water.
•Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to medium.
•Let simmer until chicken is cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast should register 165°), about 15 minutes.
•Let sit 10 minutes and shred.
