Crockpot Shredded Chicken

1. 1

   Pour water and chicken broth into 5.5 quart crockpot.

2. 2

   Mix in salt, pepper, and garlic powder (you can also directly season the chicken thighs with this mixture, but the lazy way works just fine!).

3. 3

   Place chicken thighs in the crockpot in a single layer, fattier side down.

4. 4

   Toss in halved shallots (or quartered onion), whole garlic cloves, and bay leaves.

5. 5

   Cook on low for 7-10 hours.

6. 6

   Remove chicken and shred with a fork.

7. 7

   For broth: add bones from the shredded chicken, 1-2 cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and carrots or celery (if desired). Continue to cook on low for 4-6 hours.
