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.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth, or water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or as desired, fell free to omit
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, Shortcut
- fresh herbs, if you have on hand, a few sprigs is perfect, not required
Instructions
- Place the sliced onion in your slow cooker, add the chicken, sprinkle in the salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and if using the fresh fresh herbs, add a few sprigs. Pour in the broth or water.
- Cover and cook on Low setting for 5-6 hours or High setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
- When the chicken easily shreds with a fork, it is ready. Remove chicken to a mixing bowl and shred with two forks, add a bit of liquid from the slow cooker to the chicken as desired.
