Crock Pot Shredded Chicken
Description
Crock Pot Shredded Chicken involves placing chicken breasts in a slow cooker along with Italian herbs, bottled Italian salad dressing, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. The mixture cooks on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours until the chicken reaches 175 degrees internal temperature and shreds easily. After cooking, the chicken is shredded using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, which quickly achieves a uniform texture.
Some of the cooking liquid is retained to keep the shredded chicken moist and flavorful when mixed back together. This method delivers tender, juicy chicken infused with herb and garlic flavors enhanced by the salad dressing base. With a hands-off cooking style, it's ideal for meal prepping proteins that can be added to various dishes.
