5poundsboneless, skinless chicken breasts,trimmed
1cupchicken broth,low sodium
1tsp.black pepper
¾tsp.Kosher salt

Notes
Use a crockpot liner for easy clean-up.One pound of chicken will yield about 3 cups of cooked meat.Cooking times may vary, based on your appliance. REFRIGERATOR STORAGE (use within 1 week): use this option if you will use the chicken within a week. Store shredded chicken in an airtight container.FREEZER STORAGE: Using a permanent marker, label freezer bags with the date, quantity and item (i.e. 2 cups shredded chicken, 10-7-18) before filling. Measure 2 cups of shredded chicken & place in a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal bag. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for a few hours before moving to the freezer. A FoodSaver works well for freezer storage. For best results use in 2-3 months, although the pre-cooked chicken can be frozen for 6 months.Nutritional information is provided as a reference only.
