Crock Pot Shredded Chicken

Crock Pot Shredded Chicken is one of my favorite kitchen hacks.   Since joining Weight Watchers and beginning weight lifting my chicken intake has increased by at least 10 times! Cooking chicken can be extremely time-consuming, I love using crockpot shredded chicken on my salads, in casseroles, sandwiches, and just for snacks with apples!!

I love making Crock Pot Shredded Chicken to freeze in bulk for quick meals and to save time making dinner!  This is as easy as cooking the chicken in broth in the crockpot and then shredding the chicken with meat claws or a mixer.  I freeze mine

Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Ingredients:

• Chicken broth
• Water
• Boneless Skinless Chicken breast

Crock Pot Shredded Chicken Directions:

Spray your Crock Pot with nonstick spray (I use my -> homemade spray)

Fill your Crock Pot with 1/4 parts of broth and 3/4 parts of water.

Place your boneless skinless chicken in the crockpot and cover with lid

Cook on low for 4-6 hours till chicken is done

Remove chicken from Crock Pot and place in Kitchen Aid Mixer

Mix on low with paddle attachment till you reach the “shredded” level you want. The longer or faster it goes the finer the shred is on the chicken.

*You can add some juice to the shredded chicken for moisture*

Portion out to freeze in bags using a Food Saver or I use Snapware containers
