Crockpot Shredded Chicken

Crockpot Shredded Chicken

Need chicken for a casserole, tacos, sandwich, salad, or a soup? This would be a good way to prepare this. This is hands free for a few hours once it goes in the slow cooker, what you will not get is a nice broth as if you were pressure cooking the chicken, but not everyone uses a pressure cooker. This will result in tender juicy chicken however. Link to the Shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
