I absolutely love my crockpot. On nights when The Captain has swim team practice, it's the only way anyone gets dinner in my house. Often I make up a big batch of Basic Shredded Chicken on Monday and use it as a meal starter throughout the week. This extremely simple, moist chicken is very versatile and can be seasoned any way you wish. I make it in a small crockpot, but the recipe can be adapted for whatever size pot you have.
Basic Shredded Chicken Recipe
1 chicken bouillon cube
Water
1-3 lbs chicken breast
Salt
Pepper
Directions:
Toss a bouillon cube in the crockpot and smash it a little with a fork. Add some water and stir. Throw in your chicken and add some salt and pepper. Put the cover on the crockpot, set it on low, and let it cook all day. In the evening, drain the water and shred the chicken with two forks. It should fall apart the second it's touched.
Need ideas for how to use Basic Shredded Chicken?
How about...
Chicken salad sandwiches
Burritos
Over a green salad
Nachos
BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches
Added to pasta dishes
Pizza topping
Tortilla soup (or any soup!)
Do you have other uses for shredded chicken?
