Time 5h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup water
½ large white onion, diced
3 large cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, water, onion, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on Low until you can press on the chicken with the back of a fork and it falls apart and is no longer pink in the center, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Pull out each piece of chicken and shred in a large bowl with 2 forks.
  • When all chicken is shredded, combine with any water remaining in the slow cooker--this keeps the shredded chicken moist.

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.

Yield Makes about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 medium onions, peeled, halved with root intact
1 head of garlic, unpeeled, rinsed, halved crosswise
2 bay leaves
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon (or more) kosher salt
1 teaspoon (or more) freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix chicken, onions, garlic, bay leaves, broth, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Cover and cook until chicken shreds easily when pierced with a fork, about 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
  • Remove chicken from liquid and shred with a fork; taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl; discard vegetables. Store chicken and broth together or separately.
  • Do Ahead
  • Chicken can be made 3 days ahead; cover and chill either in broth or separately, or freeze either together or separately up to 6 months.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker with a capacity of at least 6 quarts to ensure that all of the ingredients fit comfortably.
  • If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the chicken in a Dutch oven over low heat for 6-8 hours.
  • To make the yogurt sauce, be sure to use a plain, unsweetened yogurt. Greek yogurt is a good option because it is thicker and creamier.
  • If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon or two of cornstarch to the yogurt mixture before cooking.
  • Serve the shredded chicken with rice, naan bread, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker shredded chicken in yogurt sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the yogurt sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
