As I’ve mentioned, I like to cook in bulk. In the Follicular Phase, we love our chicken. I’m not entirely sure why we do, but just go with it. This is delicious and can be used in just about anything (which I promise to give you some uses if you cannot think of any!). What I love about it is that it’s so easy, you do not need to be home or around, and you really just need a crock pot.
This chicken pulls apart very easily, stays juicy, and cooks evenly. I have used it in soups, salads, wraps – you name it.
Ingredients:
6 Chicken breasts (really try to go organic here, you are what your food eats. But I understand it’s expensive, I’m not able to do this quite yet, but if you can, do it!)
2 C fat free chicken or vegetable stock
1 onion
2 T minced garlic
Dill, basil, salt, pepper, chives, or a basic poultry season is great (beware of nightshades! Crate and Barrel’s spice rack comes with a good one)
Directions:
In a crockpot, layer in your onions, trimmed, rinsed chicken breasts, stock, garlic, and then on top seasonings. Set the crockpot to high for 5-6 hours (or low for 8 hours). After, the chicken will easily fall apart for shredding purposes. You really cannot go wrong here! Try to keep the lid on the crock pot for most of the time, opening it too much will let the steam out drying out the chicken.
