Steps:
- Lay the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to pull it into shreds. Strain the cooking broth and drizzle about 1/2 cup over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. If not using the chicken immediately, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining cooking broth separately and use it to moisten the chicken when serving. Or add it to soups and sauces.
- Buffalo: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce. Drizzle over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.
- Lemon Herb: Drizzle 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooking broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
- Barbecue: Warm 1/4 cup of the cooking broth in a small saucepan and whisk in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.

Steps:
- Combine chicken, water, onion, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker.
- 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).
- Pull out each piece of chicken and shred in a large bowl with 2 forks.
- When all chicken is shredded, combine with any water remaining in the slow cooker--this keeps the shredded chicken moist.

CROCK POT SHREDDED CHICKEN NACHOS
I found this recipe on Pillsbury.com. This is a super, easy crock-pot meal. I was worried that the chicken would come out dry, so I altered the recipe by adding some chicken stock to it. I think that left the chicken moist, instead of dried out. I really hope you enjoy this recipe.

SLOW COOKER SHREDDED CHICKEN TACOS
I needed a dinner entree I could make for a pretty large party that wouldn't break the bank and wouldn't take me all day to cook. So, I decided tacos would do the trick! I threw together some ingredients for shredded chicken tacos, and it turned out great. I served them on corn tortillas, with diced white onion, cilantro, and freshly quartered limes for a more "authentic" feel, but the meat is great for nachos or other dishes as well.

SLOW COOKER RANCH CHICKEN NACHOS
I have a love/hate relationship with nachos. The love part? How can one not appreciate a giant platter of crunchy carbs topped with all the shredded meats and all the melted cheeses and spicy what nots and more crunchy do dads and cool, creamy sauces and salsas? It's a no-brainer. The hate part? My unruly lack of self control when it comes to all the things. This version is blanketed with a world of ranchy shredded chicken and green bell peppers, so there's just no way to prepare you or your mouth for what's about to happen.
