It’s cold, it’s dark by 5 p.m. and I want quick easy meals. Helllooo Crockpot Shredded Chicken. Seriously, if you do not own a crockpot or it’s sitting in the depths of your cupboards.

On my pre-make list before shoulder surgery along with my vegetable soup with chicken meatballs. So to tackle the chicken breast I tried something where it was zero work of having to deal with the raw chicken. Just throw it in the crockpot? Yess.

Using frozen chicken breasts for our crockpot shredded chicken

I’ve read that it’s not wise to throw frozen chicken in your crockpot because it’ll fall to the ‘danger zone’ temperature for raw meat and can cause issues with botulism.

Never thought of it before but it does make sense. So, I first brought the chicken broth to boil then added the frozen chicken. Don’t really know if it makes a difference but for all things meat. I don’t take any chances.

How to get the perfectly cooked crockpot shredded chicken

Whatever you do, do not cook it for longer than needed. Otherwise you’ll end up with dry straw-like chicken. Which personally when chicken becomes like that is when I really hate chicken and will refuse to eat it.

Letting the chicken cook in it’s own juices really brought out a lot of flavor in it and not to mention hands free easy cooking was heaven!

I’ve also done a batch of Cajun style shredded chicken along with crockpot shredded chicken tacos which is the same process just add some spices in to let it cook through. I truly cannot stress enough of grass-fed chicken I purchased from a local farm really also does wonders for the taste!
