Ingredients

• 3 large cloves garlic, minced
• 6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 large white onion, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine chicken, water, onion, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker.

Step 2

Cover and cook on Low until you can press on the chicken with the back of a fork and it falls apart and is no longer pink in the center, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 3

Pull out each piece of chicken and shred in a large bowl with 2 forks.

Step 4

When all chicken is shredded, combine with any water remaining in the slow cooker--this keeps the shredded chicken moist.
