EASY CROCKPOT SHREDDED CHICKEN

Posted on 415 views

Crockpot Shredded Chicken – a super easy Crockpot recipe for all purpose shredded chicken! This chicken is seasoned and slow cooked all day, then ready to use in any of your favorite wraps, tacos, or casseroles. Or, you can freeze it to use for later.

Out of all of the recipes on my blog, I have to say this simple, plain Jane looking crockpot full of chicken is one of my absolute favorites.It’s one of those recipes that is a major lifesaver for me to keep on hand for all of the meal time madness.

This tastes just as good as a rotisserie chicken, but, you can make a BIG batch of it right at home and it lasts for up to two months in the freezer.

My recipe calls for using about 3 pounds of chicken – for me this is four large chicken breasts.It goes right into the crockpot with some chicken broth and seasonings, and is really “set and forget” recipe because it can cook on low all day and still be amazingly juicy.

Whenever it’s cooked and destroyed you can add things like hot sauce, farm dressing, taco preparing, salsa….etc. what’s more, prepare it into servings of mixed greens for the week – make life simpler and your plate of mixed greens somewhat less exhausting!
