This Crock Pot Shredded Chicken is a hard working dish. The flavors are great, but they are subtle enough to go well with many different recipes. It’s simple to make, it’s fast, and it uses frozen chicken, which I love.
I like to make up a big batch of this easy slow cooker chicken and have it on hand when I know we have a busy week, or if it’s going to be too hot to cook. I use it in soups, tacos, casseroles, wraps, dips, and on top of salads.
The slow cooker shredded chicken recipe couldn’t be easier. You plop some frozen chicken breasts in the slow cooker, top with the rest of the ingredients, cover and cook. Done.
