- 4 chicken breasts
- 3 cups chicken bone broth
- 1 tsp Italian herbs seasoning mix
- 2 tsp celtic sea salt
- 2 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
Add all ingredients to a large pot with a tight-fitting lid.
Arrange chicken so it is submerged in stock.
Place lid on pot and cook on low, gently boiling for 30-45 minutes - until chicken is fork tender and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
Watch to make sure too much stock doesnt evaporate - if it does before chicken is soft, add a little water to the pot.
Place chicken breasts in stand mixer with paddle attachment, and bet on low for 30-40 seconds, until chicken is shredded.
Toss in any extra liquid from pot, up to 1 cup (toss anything over 1 cups worth so you don't have soggy chicken - but do save some liquid to prevent dry chicken.)
Serve immediately or portion for the week and refrigerate.
