This shredded chicken is tasty, moist and a great dish to whip up overnight for lunches the next day. I have it with salad for my lunches and I will use it as a filling for sandwiches.
It is as simple as rubbing the chicken breasts with some butter, seasoning with salt and pepper, pouring on the stock and letting it cook!
Once the cooking time is up, the chicken breasts are removed from the slow cooker and you simply shred with forks. 
The chicken can be kept in the fridge for 2 -3 days (check out this link for more tips on safely storing chicken). You can freeze the chicken if you do not use it up in time.
