This recipe is great for when you need to put together something fast in the morning. The meat is super juicy, full of flavor, and tender, and literally falls apart by the time it is done cooking. The leftover chicken also freezes well for a night when you need a quick meal.

- 6 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (1½ teaspoons)

How to Make It

- Shred the chicken and remove any excess fat. Return the meat to the slow cooker. Stir in the lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Turn the slow cooker to Warm until ready to serve.
