Easy Crockpot Bone Broth Shredded Chicken
Easy Slow Cooker Bone Broth Shredded Chicken (in a crockpot)
Servings 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 to 2½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (can sub thighs)
- 1½ cups chicken bone broth
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Add the chicken to the crockpot in an even layer.
- Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.
- Pour the bone broth over the chicken.
- Cover and cook: LOW for 3-4 hours or HIGH for 2-2½ hours, until the chicken is very tender and easily shreds.
- Shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Or place it in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to shred chicken in seconds.
- Let it sit in the broth for 5–10 minutes before storing so it soaks up the moisture.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on crockpot size and thickness of the chicken.
- Keeping some broth with the shredded chicken helps prevent it from drying out during storage.
- This recipe doubles easily if you’re meal prepping for the week.
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of breasts for a slightly richer flavor.
