Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken
Slow cooker shredded chicken with lemon pepper seasoning is a great meal prep solution that's healthy, flavorful and hands-off.
Servings: 4 -6 Servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ½ pounds of chicken breasts skinless, boneless. (Approximately 3 large breasts or 4 regular size)
- ½ cup chicken broth I chose low sodium, but you can choose regular
- ½ teaspoon celery seeds this seasoning is my favorite as it brings freshness and subtle celery taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt you can substitute with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
Instructions
- Unpack your chicken breasts. Pat dry with a paper towel and place them into the slow cooker.
- Pour the chicken broth.
- Sprinkle the seasoning, celery seeds, garlic salt, and lemon pepper.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- Once cooked, it is time to shred. This step can be done in different ways. I like to carefully take the chicken breast out of the slow cooker into a deep bowl and shred using 2 forks. You can also shred in the slow cooker but be careful as there is hot liquid. Also, another technique is to take the chicken breasts out and place in a bowl and for shredding you can use a hand mixer.
- Once the chicken has been shredded, place back into the slow cooker and mix well with the remaining liquid. Set aside until ready to serve.
