How to make crock pot shredded chicken breasts or thighs. The easiest way to make shredded chicken! Plus, ideas for shredded chicken recipes!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
kosher salt, black pepper, and other seasonings as desired (see blog post above for suggestions)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Position the chicken so it's in a single layer and season, if desired (see blog post above for suggestions).
  • Cover and cook medium boneless, skinless chicken breast on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (for other cuts of chicken, such as boneless things, or bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, and for cooking times on HIGH, see the blog post above).
  • Check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. (If you're using bone-in chicken, don't touch the thermometer to the bone.) The chicken should be 165 degrees F (I remove mine 5 to 10 degrees early, since the temperature will rise as it rests). Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can reincorporate (if you plan to shred the right in your slow cooker, you can let it rest there).
  • When the chicken is cooked through, shred it using a hand mixer, two forks, or your fingers. Serve as desired.

My friend Abby came up with this one. It is absurdly easy and makes a great base for chicken tacos, pulled chicken sandwiches, a change of pace topping for pierogies, or my husband's personal favorite, chimichanga filling. I buy frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 10-lb. bags. No need to thaw: just toss 'em in the crock pot as is.

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h10m

Yield about 6 cups shredded chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 strips lemon peel, removed with a vegetable peeler, optional
1 bay leaf, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lay the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to pull it into shreds. Strain the cooking broth and drizzle about 1/2 cup over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. If not using the chicken immediately, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining cooking broth separately and use it to moisten the chicken when serving. Or add it to soups and sauces.
  • Buffalo: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce. Drizzle over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.
  • Lemon Herb: Drizzle 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooking broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
  • Barbecue: Warm 1/4 cup of the cooking broth in a small saucepan and whisk in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right beer: For a rich and flavorful shredded chicken, select a beer that has a bold flavor profile. Amber ales, stouts, and porters are all excellent choices.
  • Seasoning the chicken: Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings to create a unique flavor profile. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder are all popular choices.
  • Cooking time: The cooking time will vary depending on the amount of chicken you are cooking and the type of crock pot you are using. As a general rule of thumb, cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Shredding the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. Be careful not to over-shred the chicken, as this can make it tough.
  • Serving suggestions: Shredded chicken can be served in a variety of ways. It can be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. It can also be served on top of rice, pasta, or salad.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Shredded Chicken in Beer is an easy and delicious recipe that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The chicken is fall-apart tender and flavorful, and the beer adds a unique and delicious flavor.
