Pulled Chicken Recipe


Today I’m sharing another “recipe” that I hesitate to call a recipe.  It’s so simple and easy, but at the same time, delicious and tasty.  I call it pulled chicken and you can use it for many, many things.  Our favorite way to eat it is on buns.  But, you can also put it in taco shells, tortilla shells, over rice, whatever your heart desires.

Pulled Chicken Recipe

Here’s how I make it:  Start with raw chicken.  It can be chicken breasts, chicken thighs or even a whole chicken.  This time I used three boneless chicken breasts that I pulled from the freezer and they were still partly frozen when I put them into my slow cooker.

Pour over your favorite barbecue sauce….

Cook on low for four to six hours or high for two to four.  It actually depends on how much chicken you put in your crockpot.  Here I used three boneless chicken breasts and I cooked them on high for two hours and they were perfect.

Like this.  Yum!  Next I drain off all of the liquid.  You can leave part of it in with your chicken if you want, but my people like it with a dryer consistency.  Do what you want with your chicken!

Shred it up.  An easy peasy way to do this is to use a hand mixer or a stand mixer to do your shredding for you….

Pour in more BBQ sauce…..

Our all time favorite – Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet ‘n Spicy.Then serve it up however you want it.  Tonight it was on buns for us.

Delicious!  Here’s the handy dandy printable.
