Basic Shredded Chicken

A lot of our "fast" meals in the week, meaning meals after piano or soccer or other curve balls that get thrown into our schedule, are based on shredded chicken.  My kids love shredded chicken in almost anything, and if you have it already in the fridge you can whip up Pho Ga, quick Mexican night, chicken sliders, or a hundred other recipes that everyone will love.

Here's the basic slow cooker recipe:

3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Add fat free chicken broth on top of the chicken in the slow cooker until is ALMOST covers the chicken.  Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  Shred.

It couldn't be easier and it stores great in the refrigerator for up to a week.
