My good friend, Becky, has been begging me to post this for months, so here it is…The Easiest Crock Pot Pulled Chicken…ever! I make this once a week, and freeze in containers for soups, salads, enchiladas, tacos, and wraps. There is absolutely no effort involved…you simply place 3-6 boneless, skinless (frozen) chicken breasts in your crock pot, cover with water, cook on high for 6-8 hours, pull out and shred with two forks, and that is it! The chicken comes out soooo moist, and makes it’s own broth.
My favorite recipe to use this in, is white chicken chili in the crock pot…I will post that later this week. Sometimes, Becky simply shreds it, and feeds it to her toddler straight from the crock pot…it is that good! I must give credit where credit is due…I got this idea from our bachelor friend, Dana, who made us the yummiest chicken tacos ever with it…thanks, D!
Using this technique has saved me so much time! It is absolutely my favorite kitchen “how to” ever!
Keep it real!

Due to having some of my content and posts stolen by no good lazy people who don’t do their own projects, I am sorry to have to truncate (shorten) my feeds. Please don’t hold it against me, and continue reading, because I do love you and want to share my tutorials with you ;)
Love,

If I use chicken breast that are NOT frozen, could you tell me how long can I THEN cook them in the crock pot? How many hours and maybe on LOW setting?? Love this idea to cook ahead. I do it all the time with ground beef, in various ways; but do not think to do it with chicken! ~tina
I’ve been wanting to do some kind of make ahead chicken forever. It would cut my prep time in half for so many dishes. I never really thought about doing it in the crockpot, but I’m thinking about it now!
Newly following from What’s Cooking Wednesday. Thanks for the great idea!
This is a great idea to do! So many things you can make with chicken!
Thanks for sharing!

I love making chicken like this, I dump a can of high quality salsa on it and let it cook down, fabulous!

I am always being told to pack my own lunch for work to save money and to be helthier. My complaint is that I just don’t have time and when I have left overs I save them for the kids lunches the next day as our nanny doesn’t cook nor do I expect her to. My point is that this would really be handy. Unfortunately my slow cooker has no lid as my kids decided to play in the pantry and dropped a can of tomatoes on it. I’m so sad because I love that thing. Time for a new one, I think.
I haven’t tried it with just water. I usually put a can of cream of chicken soup on top of my chicken breast. It is delicious also. Thanks for the easy recipe! I’m all about easy recipes!!
