Notes
To make shredded chicken, place 2 chicken breasts in small crock pot. Add ½ cup apple juice and ½ cup water to crock pot. Cook chicken until it can be shredded with a fork (4-5 hours on low or 2-3 hours on high). When done, remove chicken to plate and shred with a fork. This can be done the night before to make for quick meal prep.
