If you’re looking for a flavorful and versatile shredded chicken recipe to make in your slow cooker, look no further!

We make this at least once per week and use the chicken for protein throughout the week:

• Tacos or Taco Bowls – with black beans, avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime on tortillas or rice and lettuce.
• Shredded Chicken Parm – pair this 3-ingredient recipe with a simple salad and some brown or bean pasta.
• Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps – toss chicken with buffalo sauce (this is my favorite) and wrap in crisp romaine or butter lettuce.
• Chicken Salad – mix shredded chicken with avocado mayo, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and green onion, chopped celery, and/or red onion for a quick, protein-packed meal. Serve in lettuce cups, over a salad, or on whole-grain toast.
• Hearty Soup – add shredded chicken to bone broth with garlic, spinach, carrots, and zucchini noodles for a nourishing, gut-friendly soup.
