Easy Breezy Shredded Chicken

Our main meat source is chicken. So... we eat a lot of chicken. 

Chicken Enchiladas.
Fajitas.
Chicken Salad.
Chicken Quesadillas.
Chicken Noodle Soup.
Chicken Pasta.

Repeat.

I used to use a lot of canned chicken because it was so convenient. But I found something that works even better for me... 

Let me tell you something that has saved me time and energy and money
... and it's no big secret. 

I slow cook 3-5 lbs of frozen chicken breasts, shred it then use it/bag it for later.



More specifically, I put the 3-5 lbs in the slow cooker, and fill the water to ALMOST covering the chicken and then add about 1 tablespoon of salt and a tsp of garlic salt for a little flavor. 

I usually cook it on slow over night or 8-10 hours. 

Shred the chicken and put about 1 lb in a ziplock bag and refrigerate for later use.  

(and if you want to, you can save the "broth".)

That's it. 

And it's yummy!

We used some for fajitas last night!
