Notes

  • This shredded chicken freezes great! Keep in in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
  • Make sure to add the shredded chicken back into the crockpot and give it a good stir so it can soak up all the amazing flavor!
  • You can use frozen chicken breasts, but the cooking time will be more like 4-6 hours on HIGH.
