Crockpot Shredded Chicken image

This is a super easy shredded chicken recipe that makes tasty, tender chicken. Use it for tacos, casseroles, chicken salad, sandwiches, etc.! The recipe can be increased if you are looking to feed more than one person, unlike myself. I haven't tried freezing it yet, but I imagine it would freeze nicely for future meals. And, the leftover liquid and bones can be used to make a nice broth.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs chicken thighs, bones and skin included
2 shallots, halved
1 -3 garlic clove, whole
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon chicken broth
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 bay leaves

Steps:

  • Pour water and chicken broth into 5.5 quart crockpot.
  • Mix in salt, pepper, and garlic powder (you can also directly season the chicken thighs with this mixture, but the lazy way works just fine!).
  • Place chicken thighs in the crockpot in a single layer, fattier side down.
  • Toss in halved shallots (or quartered onion), whole garlic cloves, and bay leaves.
  • Cook on low for 7-10 hours.
  • Remove chicken and shred with a fork.
  • For broth: add bones from the shredded chicken, 1-2 cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and carrots or celery (if desired). Continue to cook on low for 4-6 hours.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try adding more liquid next time.

I've tried this recipe with different types of chicken and it always turns out great. I especially like using boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I can see how it would be perfect for someone who likes a little heat.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was a lifesaver on a busy weeknight! The chicken came out so tender and flavorful. I paired it with some roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
