Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless, about 4-5 large
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock homemade or store-bought

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing your slow cooker. If your model requires it, plug it in or set it to the desired temperature.
  2. Take your chicken breasts and place them directly into the slow cooker. Make sure they’re all laid out evenly to ensure even cooking.
  3. Next, sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika over the chicken.
  4. Pour the chicken stock over the seasoned chicken.
  5. Now it’s time to cover the slow cooker with the lid.
  6. As it cooks, you’ll smell the delicious aroma wafting through your home.
  7. Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker using tongs.
  8. Now comes the fun part: shredding the chicken.
  9. After shredding, return the chicken to the slow cooker and mix it with the remaining juices for extra flavor.
  10. Finally, it’s time to serve your Crockpot Shredded Chicken.

Notes

After cooking, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
