Shredded Chicken
This recipe will truly make your life easier, this shredded chicken can be used in so many recipes, tacos, chicken salad, stuffed peppers and even add to a soup! The best part? Make a large batch and freeze in individual portions to make for the easiest meal preps ever!
Start by adding skinless boneless chicken to the bottom of a crock pot, you want it to be a single layer, now this crock pot is on the smaller side and only showing two breasts, if you have a oval shape or larger crock pot you’ll be able to fit more
Cover the chicken with chicken stock, any brand you like, but make sure you cover the chicken fully and about an inch above it.
In addition to the stock I like to add the juice of one lemon and 2 tablespoons minced garlic. The seasoning can really be anything you like, you can also try adding diced onion or Italian seasonings.
Set the crock pot to high and set for 3 hours, I was pressing the increment button when I took this picture that’s why it says 40
When it’s done, remove from the crock pot and shred apart with two forks
This is how it should look, from here you can freeze, I suggest adding a few tablespoons of the broth in the bag for optimal moisture or use up to 4 days after cooking.
