Crockpot Shredded Chicken Recipe

This Crockpot Shredded Chicken recipe is a simple, hands-off way to make perfectly tender, juicy chicken that's great for tacos, sandwiches, salads, or any dish that calls for shredded chicken. It requires minimal prep and is ideal for meal prep!


Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (or water)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional for extra flavor)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1-2 tbsp olive oil or butter for added moisture
  • Optional: Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) in the bottom of your Crockpot. If you prefer a richer flavor, you can drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil or add a couple of pats of butter on top of the chicken.
  2. Season the Chicken:

    • Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper over the chicken. You can adjust the seasoning according to your preferences. If you want a bit of heat, you can add chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  3. Add Liquid:

    • Pour the chicken broth (or water) into the Crockpot. This will help keep the chicken moist and create a flavorful base.
  4. Cook:

    • Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily shreds with a fork. The cooking time may vary based on the size of the chicken breasts or thighs and the heat of your Crockpot.
  5. Shred the Chicken:

    • Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the Crockpot. The chicken should be very tender and fall apart easily. Stir the chicken into the remaining juices to keep it moist.
  6. Serve:

    • You can use the shredded chicken immediately for tacos, sandwiches, wraps, salads, or any dish that requires shredded chicken. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Optional Variations:

  • Spicy: Add a chopped jalapeño or a few dashes of hot sauce to the Crockpot for extra heat.
  • Flavor Twist: Add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice after cooking for a tangy flavor.
  • Taco Seasoning: For a taco-flavored shredded chicken, replace the garlic, onion powder, paprika, and cumin with a packet of taco seasoning.

Enjoy your Crockpot Shredded Chicken in your favorite dishes with minimal effort! Perfect for busy days or meal prep! 🍗🌯
