SLOW COOKER SHREDDED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE
2 pounds chicken breasts (3-5 breasts, depending on their size)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the chicken in the slow cooker in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Pour chicken broth over the seasoned chicken. I flip the chicken upside down and then upright again before placing it on the lid. Place the lid on and cook on low for 6 hours, until the chicken shreds easily with a fork.
Using two forks, shred the chicken (this can be done on a cutting board or right in the slow cooker).
NOTES
Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
This chicken is a great starter for chicken salad, tacos, sandwiches, burritos, and quesadillas.

Okay, that chicken salad looks delicious! We just made an awesome tandoori chicken and you just inspired me to try it out as a shredded chicken salad!
Dani, I love making chicken in the crockpot & the chicken salad looks absolutely delicious!!
I'm going to ask my son to buy me your cookbook for Mother's Day ❤❤❤
Me too!! I hope you get to try this one. And yay for presents (and amazing children!).

@@gianisoma So smart!
Excellent, Dani. Love grapes in Chicken Salad, and Poppy seeds! Guaranteed a winner! Will definitely make, and so will, you know who! 😉 Cheers! 🥰
Yay! I'm so glad you will both enjoy this recipe. Cheers! XO
Yes it is..my favorite way to make chicken salad!☺️
Looks like a keeper recipe. Thanks.
Yes!! It definitely is. Enjoy.
I love your channel! ❤
Thank you!!
I just found your channel, Thank you for sharing! 😊
Delicious recipe ❤❤
Thank you! Enjoy it.
I’m glad you said what size crock pot you have
I’ve been wanting to get a crock pot but I didn’t know what size to get
I meal prep 10 meals each week
5 meals being one recipe
And the other 5 being a different recipe.
I use 6 oz (170 grams) of protein for each meal containers.
So for every 5 containers I’ll use about 900 grams
(31 ounces or roughly 2lbs of meat)
I didn’t know what size crock pot to get for roughly 2 lbs of chicken for every 5 meals.
I thought I would need a 4 quart size.
Or even 4 lbs of chicken if I felt like cooking all the protein for the 10 meals at once.
(I hope I made sense in this explanation 😅)
This chicken slow cooker recipe is awesome!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it.
The best
God bless everything you touch
Enjoy it!
oh, looking good. I have home canned chicken breast and all the other ingredients but have to sub blueberries. Gonna make it tomorrow!
Enjoy!
I will try the shredded chicken and chicken salad.
Perfect! Enjoy it.
Perfect timing
What's better than good timing?!
Omg it did confuse me before about the crock pot name thing! Thanks for clarifying
Right?! So confusing, lol.
I love u you out Chanel!!! I always send it to my mom. Maybe some Spanish subtitles could be so helpful 😆
Thank you!!
This is amazing, thank you so much 😭 having shredded chicken ready to go in the fridge/freezer is so helpful for me! Do you freeze the chicken with some of the juices from the slow cooker?
I would pour a little juice over the top but not so much that it is sitting in a big puddle :)
Thank you Sweetheart i use chicken breast alot also❤ im going to make the breast and chicken salad. I love your recipes. Have a beautiful day ❤❤
It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching ad enjoy them both.
Maybe pomegranate seeds would also be good. Love the seeds in guacamole. So good!
Ooooh, that's a fun idea!
Nice recipe Dani will deft try 👍will sub the fruit for cranberries👍
Very nice... instead of ACV.. what can I sub it with.? My inside bry l bleeds when I use ACV. This looks amazing.. plus I Luv shredded meats.. it's much easier!
You can use a white wine or red wine vinegar instead!
❤❤❤delicious
Enjoy!
Could you substitute chia seeds for the poppy seeds for some added fiber in the chicken salad?
Absolutely!
Very nice. Thanks. What is the brand of your slow cooker. Thank you.
Hamilton Beach! amzn.to/49y2Vqu
@@CleanandDeliciousDani thanks 🙏
Will an Instant Pot work
Looks delicious. Can you use frozen chicken
Yes! Simply add a bit more cooking time.
When I made shredded chicken on the stove, I used water instead of broth. So juice becames my broth which I froze in ice trays and Mason jars. I find that shredding the chicken with a meat masher/chopper is much easier than using forks. You can also use a hand mixer if you want bigger pieces. Then I put the shredded chicken in one cup container and put them in the freezer. Thaw it when ready and make chicken tacos, chicken salad and/or chicken sandwiches
*Question:* Would it be ok to save and use the juice from your recipe as broth? Also, if I only used two chicken breast how long should it slow cook on low?
Thanks for sharing all of your tips! And yes - you can certainly save the juice as broth.
Hi Dani,
I follow you with delight since a few years, thank you!
I have an English language question. I always wondered why sometimes native speakers use a feminine form where I learnt in school to use the neutral. You did so today talking about your recipe book. Why did you say 'she' instead of 'it'?!
I am a very curious person 😊
Thank you!
Hi there! There is no reason I called the book "she" - I was just being playful! XO
Can this been done with no slow cooker?
Dani, are the recipes in your book low carb? I’ve been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and dr. Has ordered low carb diet. Thanks.
Hi there! The recipes ar not low carb - it is more of a whole food based cookbook :)
Do you have a good Chicken Enchilada recipe??
Poach the chicken. Hope this helps!
Hi Dani, what are our thoughts on the Keto Diet for eating healthy and helping to reverse pain and some autoimmune conditions? This diet eliminates beans, grains, nut butter, some dairy, and most fruits and veggies high in oxalates and lectins.? Please comment.
Eating "clean and healthy" has become confusion.
Can you do this with frozen chicken??
Yes - it would just need to cook a bit longer.
@@CleanandDeliciousDani Thank you!!
Put your cooked chicken breasts into your Kitchenaid. The paddle will shred the chicken. Quick and easy
I've seen that before! I'll have to give it a try.
Like x10000s
Thank you!!
You are so preety ❤
Where’s a written recipe??????
In the description box under the video
I thought this is a vegan channel? I am going to unsubscribe because of this chicken now
I'm 100% not vegan - although I do try to share vegan tips with my plant based friends. 🍃
I don't recall her ever saying that she's vegan. She had beef & chicken on this channel as recently as about 2 weeks ago. Not all of her recipes include meat but she has had lots of recipes with meat and other non vegan foods on the channel for years.
I am not sure why I was subscribed to this before maybe mislead by the word clean…I thought clean eating is vegan eating
@@Purplelotus1990 I never thought "clean eating" meant vegan. I always thought it meant eating more fruits and veggies, less processed food, less meat and maybe more vegan foods. But, not exclusively eating vegan.
@@Purplelotus1990 how's that working out for you? lol
If you are like me and hare dealing with excessive amounts of liquid, as long as you cook in a single layer you don't need to add any! Yeah, no added liquid at all! Most liquid from the chicken will just condensate in a slowcooker, and after you are done cooking you can simply shred the chicken in the pot.
Another important thing. Can't say about other brands, but smaller Crockpots run hotter. It may tak as litte as 1.5-2h on LOW for the chicken to be done. You can very much overcook chicken breast in the slowcooker, so start checking the temperature at around 1.5h
Thanks for sharing all of these tips! So helpful.
