Notes

Variations Ideas

  • Change Seasoning - Feel free to change the seasoning to what you prefer. You can season with taco seasoning, Fajita Seasoning Recipe, garlic powder, onion powder and more. We have even added in fresh herbs such as basil, thyme and rosemary.
  • Change Chicken - You can also use this seasoning to cook chicken thighs or chicken tenders.

Recipe Tips

  • Chicken Broth - We love to cook this chicken in low-sodium chicken broth. It adds flavor to the chicken and keeps the chicken moist.
  • Season Chicken - Season the chicken with the olive oil and seasoning. Make sure to baste all the chicken breast for the best flavor.
  • Meat Thermometer - Before removing the chicken from the slow cooker, make sure to check internal temperature. Use a meat thermometer as it should 165 degrees when chicken is cooked through.

How Long to Slow Cook Chicken Breast

Cooking crockpot shredded chicken cooks on low for about 4 hours and on high for 2 hours. Cooking time may vary if your chicken is thaw or if you are cooking frozen chicken.
Make sure to use a instant read thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked before removing from the slow cooker.
