Crockpot Boiled Chicken

Do you want an easier way to boil chicken for shredded chicken? If so, then you need to check out this easy recipe for Crockpot Boiled Chicken. This is the only way that I cook my chicken now that I gave this method a try.   This is a great alternative to boiling chicken on the stove.  I can let my chicken slow cook all day in the crockpot and then when I am ready for it I can pull it out of the slow cooker and let it cool and shred it.

Sometimes I use it right away in a recipe or I will place in a freezer bag and save for later.  You can even divide it up into multiple smaller freezer bags for a later use. This is a great strategy when you find chicken on sale or managers special.  You can simply bring it home and cook it in the slow cooker and then freeze it and then use it later in a recipe.
