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.

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
kosher salt, black pepper, and other seasonings as desired (see blog post above for suggestions)

Steps:

  • Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Position the chicken so it's in a single layer and season, if desired (see blog post above for suggestions).
  • Cover and cook medium boneless, skinless chicken breast on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours (for other cuts of chicken, such as boneless things, or bone-in chicken breasts or thighs, and for cooking times on HIGH, see the blog post above).
  • Check the chicken for doneness with an instant-read thermometer. (If you're using bone-in chicken, don't touch the thermometer to the bone.) The chicken should be 165 degrees F (I remove mine 5 to 10 degrees early, since the temperature will rise as it rests). Remove the chicken to a plate or cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes so the juices can reincorporate (if you plan to shred the right in your slow cooker, you can let it rest there).
  • When the chicken is cooked through, shred it using a hand mixer, two forks, or your fingers. Serve as desired.

PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)



Pulled Chicken Sandwiches (Crock Pot) image

A personal take on a recipe from the "Slow Cooker Bible" and based on recipes typical of North Carolina styled BBQ. The sauce is tangy and flavorful but not spicy as the amount of hot sauce is just enough to balance the sweetness of the ketchup. Certainly mild enough to serve to kids. It you want more zing, add more tabasco or a chopped chipotle pepper en adobo. (If your crock pot is large enough, this easily doubles and the leftovers can be frozen.)

Time 6h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onions or 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
  • Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
  • Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
  • Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
  • When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
  • Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
  • Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 6h10m

Yield about 6 cups shredded chicken

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3 strips lemon peel, removed with a vegetable peeler, optional
1 bay leaf, optional
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lay the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to pull it into shreds. Strain the cooking broth and drizzle about 1/2 cup over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. If not using the chicken immediately, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining cooking broth separately and use it to moisten the chicken when serving. Or add it to soups and sauces.
  • Buffalo: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce. Drizzle over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.
  • Lemon Herb: Drizzle 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooking broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
  • Barbecue: Warm 1/4 cup of the cooking broth in a small saucepan and whisk in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
  • Sear the chicken breasts before adding them to the slow cooker. This will help to lock in the flavor and keep the chicken moist.
  • Add the cherries, ginger, garlic, and honey to the slow cooker along with the chicken breasts.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This crock pot cherried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the cherries and ginger add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
