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
Directions
Step 1
Place the frozen chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer, ensuring they are not stacked too tightly.
Step 2
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts to help keep them moist during cooking.
Step 3
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve the chicken warm with your choice of sides or use it in recipes like tacos, salads, or sandwiches.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
