Tips:
- Choose the right cut of chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe, as they cook evenly and quickly in the slow cooker.
- Season the chicken well: Be generous with your seasonings, as this will help to flavor the chicken throughout. You can use a store-bought seasoning blend or create your own using your favorite herbs and spices.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken to cook evenly. If you are using a smaller slow cooker, you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
- Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours: The cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts or thighs. Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is cooked through before serving.
- Shred the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces. This makes it easy to serve and eat.
Conclusion:
This super easy slow cooker chicken is a versatile and delicious dish that can be used in a variety of ways. You can serve it on its own, with rice or potatoes, or use it as a filling for tacos, burritos, or sandwiches. The possibilities are endless!
