Method
- Lightly grease your crockpot or slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Place the chicken breast (or preferred protein) in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Pour the jar of pasta sauce over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated.
- Dump the can of diced tomatoes on top of the sauce and chicken.
- Sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic over everything.
- Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Adjust amounts to your liking.
- Pour in the chicken broth to keep everything moist while cooking.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The chicken is ready when easily shredded with a fork.
- Shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks. Stir everything together to combine the shredded chicken with the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes
Don't overcook the chicken to avoid dryness; cook to an internal temperature of 165°F. For added flavor, sear your chicken or beef before adding it to the crockpot. Try variations such as a Mexican version with salsa and taco seasoning for a delicious twist.
