Slow cooker shredded Chicken: Add the large chicken breasts in the slow cooker with 2-3 cups of any chicken broth, chicken stock or bone broth to give the shredded chicken extra flavor. If you do not have chicken broth, chicken stock or bone broth you can use water with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
