A very simple way to create neutral-flavored chicken to have as the base for numerous recipes! For every 1 pound of chicken, you get 2 cups of shredded chicken, so use this as a base for how much to make. Freeze in baggies 2 cups at a time and mark it on the bag.
Recipe type: Batch, Dinner, Make Ahead
Serves: 6 Cups
Ingredients
- 3 lbs unfrozen chicken (I like to do half boneless thighs and half boneless breasts)
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Put your chicken in a crock pot. Sprinkle seasonings over chicken and stir to make sure the chicken is covered evenly. Put slow cooker on high for 4 hours or low for 6 hours. Shred with 2 forks. Plenty of natural juices will come out of the chicken so don't worry about it being dry. You can add ½ C of water if desired. Any liquid can be preserved, for example as a soup base or liquid for making rice.
Notes
* 1 lb raw chicken = 2 C shredded chicken
* Freeze 2 cups per baggie for use at a later time. Write the date and amount on the baggie.
* Save any liquid for a soup base or liquid for cooking rice
* Freeze 2 cups per baggie for use at a later time. Write the date and amount on the baggie.
* Save any liquid for a soup base or liquid for cooking rice
