Home Pulled chicken from the slow cooker

Pulled chicken from the slow cooker

Slow cooker Chicken Main course Meal prep American Family Easy

Pulled chicken is one of those dishes where you do very little but get a lot of flavor back. No complicated techniques, no hours by the stove. You simply prepare it in a slow cooker and the rest takes care of itself. After a few hours of simmering on low the chicken literally falls apart and you shred it into tender strands with two forks.

Serve the pulled chicken on a soft bun with coleslaw, use it as a filling for tacos, or wrap it in a tortilla with avocado and jalapeño. The recipe works for any occasion: a quick weeknight dinner, or on Saturday when friends drop by and you want to serve something everyone will love.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

Pulled chicken is also ideal to make in bulk. What you don't eat right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps for up to three days, and it tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Handy for lunch, a quick dinner or when you have guests and don't want to waste time in the kitchen.

A good slow cooker really makes dishes like this easier. Choose a model with a built-in sear/browning function and you'll only need one appliance for the whole recipe. Less washing up, more flavor and simply smart cooking.
