Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large saucepan or deep skillet in a single layer.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and cook the chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and place them on a cutting board.
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the pan and stir to coat with the remaining broth and seasonings.
Divide the shredded chicken evenly into four airtight containers for meal prep.
Allow to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
