Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken is a simple, versatile recipe for tender shredded chicken. Use it for tacos, burrito bowls, salads, quesadillas or enchiladas. It freezes well and is perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

With just four ingredients and a slow cooker, this recipe does the work while you get on with your day. It’s an ideal dinner when schedules are full with school or sports. I make it regularly and often freeze portions for when I need a quick, satisfying meal.
This shredded chicken is useful in many dishes and stores well. I like it in tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas or a taco-style salad. If you meal prep, cook a double batch on Sunday and refrigerate or freeze portions for the week. A jar of your favorite salsa is all you need to change the flavor — try mild, spicy, chipotle or a restaurant-style homemade salsa. Adding black beans turns this into a heartier meal.
