You are here: Home / Dinner / Easy Crockpot Shredded Chicken Show Crockpot Shredded Chicken - a super easy Crockpot recipe for all purpose shredded chicken! This chicken is seasoned and slow cooked all day, then ready to use in any of your favorite wraps, tacos, or casseroles. Or, you can freeze it to use for later!  Out of all of the recipes on my blog, I have to say this simple, plain Jane looking crockpot full of chicken is one of my absolute favorites. It's one of those recipes that is a major lifesaver for me to keep on hand for all of the meal time madness. This tastes just as good as a rotisserie chicken, but, you can make a BIG batch of it right at home and it lasts for up to two months in the freezer! My recipe calls for using about 3 pounds of chicken - for me this is four large chicken breasts. It goes right into the crockpot with some chicken broth and seasonings, and is really "set and forget" recipe because it can cook on low all day and still be amazingly juicy! So, for the 3 pounds of chicken - I get about 6 cups of shredded chicken total. Then, I just let it cool after shredding and save about two cups in the refrigerator for the week, and freeze the rest. I typically save 1-2 cups per zip-lock back, but you can portion it out however you'd like! You can also easily double this recipe if you want a plethora of shredded chicken on hand. Another awesome use for this chicken is your weekly meal prep! It really does have all purpose flavor, and goes well with anything! Once it's cooked and shredded you can add things like hot sauce, ranch dressing, taco seasoning, salsa....etc. and toss it into salads for the week - make life easier and your salad a little less boring! Some of my fave ways to use this chicken are in my One Pot Buffalo Chicken Tortellini, these Crispy Chicken Wraps, and my BBQ Ranch Chicken Tacos. Enjoy! ~Nichole

Reader InteractionsIs it better to cook chicken breast on high or low in crock pot?Cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. Always cook your boneless skinless chicken breasts on LOW for the best results. I do not recommend cooking boneless chicken breast on HIGH, as it will become very dry, even if you check it early. On high, the chicken turns out drier; I consistently have the best results with low.
Can you cook chicken in slow cooker for 2 hours?Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours on the LOW setting or about 1 hour on the HIGH setting.
Can you cook chicken in crockpot for 3 hours?With the exception of larger recipes (like 8+ servings), It only takes 2.5-3.5 hours on LOW for boneless, skinless chicken breast to be fully cooked in the slow cooker.
