Notes
- Swap the chicken stock with vegetable stock, or you can use water and flavor it with chicken bouillon cubes or miso paste for a rich umami flavor.
- Add seasonings to the crock pot for a twist. You could use cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, hot sauce, and more!
- Stir in a sauce after shredding. It's so easy to make BBQ shredded chicken or ranch shredded chicken by stirring in the sauce after it's finished cooking.
- Cook on low for the best results. This helps the chicken to become melt-in-your-mouth tender with every bite and shred beautifully.
- Cool it completely before freezing.
- Store in airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
- Label with the date so you know when to use it.
- Portion into meal-size amounts for easy thawing and reheating.
