Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken, just the thing for a busy day. Ten minutes active preparation, and then just let it cook.
Slow cooker shredded chicken is juicy and tender. The tomato sauce and salsa add flavor.
Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken
This Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken took about 10 minutes to toss everything in the slow cooker. You add tomato sauce, onion, garlic, salsa and green pepper. So you know it’s gonna be good. I cooked it on low half a day, about 4 hours (since I used chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts). Before eating it, I shredded the chicken with two forks. It is so tasty!
I had it over rice, but it’s super good stuffed in a taco, too.
After making Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken and shredding it, I let it cool, and then I froze it to take along to our daughter’s house for the weekend. We ate it Saturday night for supper and it was a hit! The younger grandchildren refused to try it, of course, but our teenage granddaughter and all the adults thought it was delicious.
Even though I work at home, I love these easy slow cooker recipes. I don’t even have to think about supper. Just toss it together and turn it on. Easy peasy. I reviewed several shredded chicken recipes on Food.com and then put together the ingredients that I thought would be best. I hope you like it too. Please comment and share the recipe. I know you’re gonna wanna eat this.
What You Need
Of course you’ll need a slow cooker. You’ll also need knives, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons and a jar of salsa. Cut up some lettuce and tomatoes and serve it in taco shells.
