Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer, ensuring they are not stacked too tightly.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts to help keep them moist during cooking.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on 'High' for 4 hours or 'Low' for 8 hours. Avoid removing the lid during cooking to retain heat and moisture.
After the cooking time is complete, check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer. It should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot or transfer it to a cutting board for slicing, depending on your meal preference.
Serve the chicken warm with your choice of sides or use it in recipes like tacos, salads, or sandwiches.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
