When I go grocery shopping I always buy a huge package of bone-in-chicken breasts bring them home and bake them off shred them and freeze.  Well for some reason our local Wal-Mart has stopped carrying the big package so, I decided to try something different.  I found this recipe from www.momsbyheart.com . 

                                               Shredded Chicken

1 3-4 pound chicken
1 onion,  chopped into chunks
3 carrots, chopped into chunks
3 ribs celery, chopped into chunks
1 Tbls. whole peppercorns
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 bay leaves
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1 Tbls. salt

Wash chicken well, place all ingredients in a large stock pot and cover with water.
Cook covered until boiling.
Reduce heat to a gentle boil and continue cooking for 1 1/2-2 hours or until meat is tender and falling off the bone.
Remove meat and allow to cool, then freeze in meal size portions.

I will absolutely be doing this from now on I did two chickens and I added a cut up lemon to both pots with the chicken.  The chicken was tender and moist.  The best part all that meat for around $7.00 dollars much cheaper than the breasts.  Also, you get some chicken stock at the end.  Just strain and put into plastic containers and freeze along side the meat!!!! Enjoy !!!
