Instructions
Fill crock pot with water, enough to submerge the chicken completely.
Add in chicken - no need to rinse the chicken or cut it.
Cook on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Chicken should shred easily with a fork. Remove chicken from water with a slotted spoon.
In a shallow bowl, take 2 forks and shred the chicken.
Squeeze 1/2 or a whole lime and add salt and pepper to taste.
Use it in your favorite recipe or make chicken salad that you can eat on cucumbers, bell pepper halves or Hawaiian rolls.
NOTE: If you have to leave the chicken in the crock pot for awhile once it's cooked, use LESS water. Do not submerge the chicken because it will over cook if left on "warm" hours after it's done. In that case, add a small amount of water or watered down orange juice is good too.
Notes
Note: When you cook it this way it's like poaching it and the outside gets a little filmy looking. That's normal.
