What kind of dishes can you use shredded. Chicken in? I can only think of tacos.

Big tip: If cooking on low, cook it for 5 hours, shred it, toss it in whatever sauce/juice you've got in the slow cooker, and let it sit for another hour on Low before storing it/bagging it. It greatly helps with getting that flavor deeply penetrated into the shredded chicken. I learned this when making Italian beef, and trust me, it's a day and night difference in flavor, there is no other way to do it.

Out flippin standing, I have incorporated all these into my cooking rotation. All are excellent for meal preps and large group pleasing dishes. I am forever tweaking the bbq mix depending on desired sweetness or smokiness. I use the mexican chicken as the chicken for tortilla soup! Your seasonings work great for grilling and some fish dishes!

Loved this video except when I clicked thru to find the recipe for BBQ chicken and the exact amounts etc I couldn't find them. I scrolled and scrolled and fought off the pop up ads and only found vague descriptions. Help.

Great idea to include both chicken breast and chicken thighs, thank you!

[barrett]

Over the past two weeks I've made all these recipes and they are all fantastic. Especially the buffalo chicken. Thank you so much for this video!

please make more videos like this! I looked at your channel and it doesn't appear youve done recipe videos in about a year. This is truly awesome.

I can’t wait to try these! I will try the bbq first! I’ve never liked to cook chicken in the crock pot because they came out almost mushy. I WAS COOKING THEM TOO LONG! I LOVE cooking and shredding chicken in advance and keeping them in meal-sized bags to pull out and quickly & easily heat when needed. THANKS!!!

Thanks looks good. Put a paper plate through the handle of the mixer and it want be so messy. Been doing that for years.

Great video! I'm learning how to cook because of covid-19. Your presentation and instructions are simple and easy to follow. I'm most excited to try the barbecue and Mexican shredded chicken recipes! Cheers

[alexheyne]

I use a 1/4 cup of water to keep the chicken moist. Works great.

[wahine]

Love the slow cooker Garlic and Olive recipe!!! My husband loves it too ... dinner tonight 🌺

[Trolley-ilkc]

This chicken is easy to add to a vegetable or bean soup...we especially enjoy blending the soup. Delicious and healthy!

[fashionluvr]

So far I have made the simple shredded chicken and mexican chicken and they were both so good! The chicken is definitely much more tender and juicier this way thanks for sharing!!

[mintbutterfly]

I actually understand you. Feels like I could do this if I just go grab the ingredients. I appreciate that 🙂
