Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

(Optional) Grease the bottom of the dutch oven with olive oil. I do this just to prevent any and all sticking, but many dutch ovens are enameled so it’s not entirely necessary.

Step 3

Place chicken breasts in the dutch oven. Try not to overlap too much (overlap could result in extra cooking time). Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt.

Step 4

Cover the dutch oven and bake for 30-40 minutes until chicken breasts are cooked through. Shred using two forks.
