Super Simple Shredded Chicken

Meal prepping for the week can be monotonous and boring, and most of the time, I end up making the same thing over and over again. This Super Simple Shredded Chicken is loaded with flavor, and it’s totally versatile. I can dig into this chicken in a salad, on some corn tortillas, in enchiladas, or as their own main entree. You only need five ingredients, so what are you waiting for?

Here’s what you need:

2 lb chicken breasts

7 oz can diced green chiles (as spicy as you like!)

2 Tbs chili powder

1 1/2 Tbs cumin

1 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to your pressure cooker, and cook it on high for 25 minutes

or

1. Add all ingredients to your slow cooker, and cook it on high for 4 hours

…

2. Once your chicken is done, shred it with two large forks, and serve it on tacos, in enchiladas, on a salad, in a breakfast burrito, or on some sweet potato nachos.
