I’m a little embarrassed to post this. It is SO EASY! But, it’s SO awesome and a staple in my kitchen, so…. here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6-8 thawed boneless, skinless chicken breasts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp. Himalayan pink salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon Red Rocks seasoning (Savory Spice Shop) or sub smoked paprika<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp. cumin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp. ancho chili powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional: 1-2 cloves minced garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 medium onion, chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If using the optional aromatic veggies, place them into your slow cooker first. Then, layer the chicken breasts on top and season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, turn it on and leave it alone! Really! Cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-12 hours. My preference is to put it on in the evening and let it go overnight. Then, in the morning, shred and store. Use 2 forks and pull in opposing directions to shred. This will evenly distribute the spices, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This chicken is just perfect for chicken salad, enchiladas, chicken soup, nachos, burrito stuffings or a deconstructed “bowl” with black beans, guac’, rice and salsa. We use it for all kinds of things. Of course, you can use any seasoning you prefer but this one is a winner e’ry time! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
