How to Cook Yummy Crockpot Shredded Chicken
Crockpot Shredded Chicken. I prefer to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you can use any cut you prefer! Pour chicken broth and seasonings over chicken.
Using crockpot shredded chicken in recipes can greatly reduce time spent in the kitchen. Line your crockpot with a slow cooker liner. It's a set it and forget it kind of shredded chicken that's hands-off and straightforward.

Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let rest a few minutes so the juices can reincorporate (if you plan to shred the right in your slow cooker, you can let it rest there). If chicken does not pull apart easily it is not ready to pull apart. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using.
