Categories     Main Course

Time 6h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
3/4 teaspoon seasoning salt ((I use Lawry's))
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts in 2.5-4 quart crockpot. Pour in chicken broth and sprinkle with seasonings.
  • Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 2-3 hours, until chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F minimum) and fall apart tender.
  • Using two forks, gently pull and shred the chicken in the liquid (if your chicken has released a lot of liquid, you may want to remove some liquid before shredding, but save it in case you want to add more back in).
  • Serve as desired or let cool slightly before refrigerating. Cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly sealed, for 3-4 days, or packaged and frozen for 3-4 months.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED CHICKEN

This is a delicious, smoky, slow cooker dish that is easy to make, and it doesn't require a BBQ grill or smoker. My husband and I love this dish and enjoy it on freshly baked or toasted onion rolls but really any bun is fine. I serve it with fries and sometimes coleslaw. Enjoy.

SLOW COOKER SHREDDED OR PULLED CHICKEN



Slow Cooker Shredded or Pulled Chicken image

This comes from my well used slow cooker cook book called "The 150 best slow cooker recipes" by Judith Finlayson. I love this cook book and I have already shared a recipe or two from this book. The title in the book is shredded chicken but I call it pulled because that is how I get the meat off. :) Anyways, I love this recipe because you can use the chicken for anything you want like sandwiches, tacos, or even enchiladas. (Which by the way I found a great enchilada recipe by 'Hey Jude' recipe #56374, just in case :) )This is easy and fun to do, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
