Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken

Pin It I love to put a meal in the slow cooker. It's makes it so easy in the evening, and the house smells delicious. This recipe for Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken took a little extra prep time, but more than made up for it when it was ready. As a bonus, these 4 shredded breasts lasted for 3 meals!
