Shredded Chicken Recipes To Use This Meat In
Instructions
- Trim off large pieces of excess fat from the chicken thighs. You don’t need to remove everything, as smaller amounts will render while cooking and keep meat tender. Place the thighs smooth side down in an even layer in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper evenly over the chicken. Pour the chicken broth over everything.
- Cover and cook on high for 2½ to 3 hours or on low for 3 to 5 hours, until the chicken is very tender.
- Remove the chicken with tongs and shred using two forks or a chicken shredder. Use in any recipe that calls for shredded or rotisserie chicken.

Notes
Storage: Store shredded chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days once fully cooled. For longer storage, freeze in freezer-safe bags or containers for up to 3 months, portioning as needed. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat directly in the recipe you’re using.
