Crockpotshreddedchickeninbeer Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken, water, onion, and garlic in the bottom of a slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on Low until you can press on the chicken with the back of a fork and it falls apart and is no longer pink in the center, about 5 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Pull out each piece of chicken and shred in a large bowl with 2 forks.
• When all chicken is shredded, combine with any water remaining in the slow cooker--this keeps the shredded chicken moist.

Steps:

• Combine the dried spices in a small bowl.
• Loosely chop the onion and place it in the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Remove any giblets from the chicken and then rub the spice mixture all over. You can even put some of the spices inside the cavity and under the skin covering the breasts.
• Put prepared chicken on top of the onions in the slow cooker, cover it, and turn it on to high. There is no need to add any liquid.
• Cook for 4 - 5 hours on high (for a 3 or 4 pound chicken) or until the chicken is falling off the bone. Don't forget to make your homemade stock with the leftover bones!

Steps:

• Put chicken in a crock pot. Pour a bottle of beer over them. Sprinkle with one packet of seasoning mix. Cover and cook on low 6 - 8 hours.
• Remove cooked chicken and pull apart with two forks.
• Strain the liquid from the crock pot through fine mesh. Combine strained cooking liquid, the second pack of seasoning and pulled chicken.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
• Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to pull it into shreds. Strain the cooking broth and drizzle about 1/2 cup over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. If not using the chicken immediately, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining cooking broth separately and use it to moisten the chicken when serving. Or add it to soups and sauces.
• Buffalo: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce. Drizzle over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.
• Lemon Herb: Drizzle 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooking broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Barbecue: Warm 1/4 cup of the cooking broth in a small saucepan and whisk in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in crock pot with chicken broth and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-6 hours. They're done when you can shred them easily.
• Meanwhile, make a Spanish Rice. I use Rice-A-Roni.
• Shred chicken and save 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth in the crockpot. If you need more, just add water. Add shredded chicken back to broth.
• Add packet of burrito seasoning and can of refried beans to chicken mixture and stir.
• Heat through.
• Heat tortillas according to directions.
• Place some spanish rice on tortilla.
• Add some chicken over the rice, a scoop of black beans and some sour cream to taste.
• Roll burrito and enjoy! I use 2 tortillas so it doesn't break because I like to pick it up. My husband pours some burrito sauce from the crock pot over the top and eats with a fork.

Steps:

• Pour water and chicken broth into 5.5 quart crockpot.
• Mix in salt, pepper, and garlic powder (you can also directly season the chicken thighs with this mixture, but the lazy way works just fine!).
• Place chicken thighs in the crockpot in a single layer, fattier side down.
• Toss in halved shallots (or quartered onion), whole garlic cloves, and bay leaves.
• Cook on low for 7-10 hours.
• Remove chicken and shred with a fork.
• For broth: add bones from the shredded chicken, 1-2 cups water, salt and pepper to taste, and carrots or celery (if desired). Continue to cook on low for 4-6 hours.
