From Natalie Perry of Perry’s Plate.

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds To 5 Pounds Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Or Thighs
  • 1 teaspoon All-purpose, No-salt Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Or Coconut Oil
  • ½ cups Chopped Yellow Onion
  • 2 teaspoons Chopped Fresh Garlic
  • ½ cups Chicken Broth

Preparation

Place all of the chicken into the pot of your pressure cooker or slow cooker. Sprinkle the chicken with the no-salt seasoning, sea salt, pepper, oil, onion, and garlic. Using a pair of tongs, lift and turn the chicken to distribute the seasonings evenly. Pour the broth down the side of the pot.

If you’re using a pressure cooker, cook on high pressure for 40 minutes and release the pressure using the natural or quick-release method.

If you’re using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 5–6 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.

Shred the chicken and return it to the pot with the juices. Serve immediately or divide the chicken up into equal portions and chill or freeze.
