Dumb cooking/nutritional type question

Ok, so last night I made a plain old chicken brest in the crock pot. 1 chicken breast, 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth and italian seasonings.
When counting the calories in that... how do I do that? Is that just essentially boiled chicken that's shredded? I could use the plain shredded chicken in the database, no? Then... What do I do with the broth? Anything?

I would enter it as a recipe. That way you get the total nutritional value from everything, including the sodium in that broth. When you enter the recipe, you can also enter the number of servings you got from the recipe so that it is right for what you actually ate too.0

So even though I'm draining off the broth... that makes sense, cause the chicken has to absorb some of that. I didn't measure the breast before I put it in... but I have 2 other's similar to it that I'll measure and just use that. 2oz would be a reasonable serving size, no?
Thanks for your input!0
