Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Recipe

This shredded or pulled chicken recipe is great for making sandwiches or use later in a soup or other great recipes.  I use a can of soda in mine to give it a little extra something.  This is an easy versatile recipe. Simmer barbecue sauce into it if you like the spicy bbq taste.

• 6 to 8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 
• 14.5 oz of reduced sodium, fat free chicken broth
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
•  1 to 2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 large onion (quartered)
• 1 can of Sprite or 7-Up (some people use Coke or Dr. Pepper)

Place chicken in slow cooker, add spices, onions, broth, and soda.  Cover with lid and cook on low for 4-8 hours or on high 4 to 5 hours until chicken is thoroughly cooked.  Once the chicken is cooked remove and place on a cutting board and take 2 forks to shred. Add to a hamburger bun and top with your favorite barbecue sauce or enjoy it naked.
