• 1 cup chicken broth (or water)

Instructions

1. Add chicken to the Crock Pot
   No need to brown it—just place it in.

2. Season
   Sprinkle seasoning evenly over the chicken.

3. Add liquid
   Pour broth around the chicken (not directly on top if you want max flavor).

4. Cook

   • LOW: 6–7 hours

   • HIGH: 3–4 hours
     Chicken is done when it’s tender and shreds easily.

5. Shred or serve whole
   Use two forks to shred right in the pot, or leave whole.
