Two Ingredient Crock Pot Chicken

Posted on January 25th, 2010 by peanutbutterfingers

I adore the crock pot. What I do not adore is crock pot recipes that are intense, comprised of a billion ingredients and require cooking before using the crock pot!

To me, the point of the slow cooker is to throw everything into a pot and “fahgettaboudit.”

Ryan and I think our slow cooker pulled pork is one of the best around and the recipe only requires two ingredients: pork and beef broth. Tonight we decided to replicate that recipe using chicken.

Before leaving for work, I threw two very large chicken breasts into the slow cooker and covered the meat with chicken broth. I let the breasts cook on low all day (about 8 hours).

While I prepped the veggies for tonight’s dinner, Ryan (aka my meat man) got to work shredding the chicken with two forks until it was pulled apart and lookin’ fine!

I topped my chicken with BBQ sauce and ended up enjoying it on a Arnold whole wheat sandwich thin. I looooove BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches.

Two Ingredient Crock Pot Chicken

Ingredients:

  • Chicken breasts
  • Chicken broth

Directions:

Remove any unwanted fat from chicken breasts and place the breasts in the slow cooker. Pour chicken broth over the breasts until covered in broth. Cook on low for 6 – 8 hours. Remove chicken breasts from crock pot and shred with a fork.

Wicked Good Dessert

For dessert I enjoyed a cup of Jello dark chocolate decadence mousse. These lil’ babies are so darn delicious.

…And I’m off to read Wicked! A woman at the gym offered to bring me the Wicked soundtrack to listen to before I see the musical. She said she’d bring it for me tomorrow and I hope to give it a listen soon. I love musicals and showtunes. They make me smile! :)

Goodnight!

    Wicked is SUCH a good musical. I’m so jealous you get to see it live. The music is amazing–you’ll love the sound track.

    Have you listened to Legally Blonde the musical??

    We also do a great pulled bbq pork in our house….a pork roast, 1 can cola, and 1 c. bbq sauce. Throw in crockpot on low for 6-8 hours, shred, and devour in a bun! So easy and yummy….I agree with you the crockpot is a great invention.

    This looks so simple. I’ll try it. If you like a little spice, I put some pace picante salsa on chicken in the crock pot and make tacos and tostadas out of it for a few days. Tasty
