Notes
- Storage: Store crockpot shredded chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Allow your chicken to cool slightly before shredding but don't let it cool completely. Warm chicken is much easier to shred.
- Stir in some of the juices/broth to the shredded chicken, to keep it moist.
- If your crockpot is very full, remember, it will take longer to heat and cook.
- Adjust seasoning to taste. If you want the chicken for various dishes don't go too heavy on spices and seasoning.
