Course: Chicken, Entree
Cuisine: American
Author: The Flip Flop Wife

Ingredients

  • 5-6 Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless
  • 1/4 cup Barbacoa Seasoning

Instructions

  • Place Chicken Breasts into crockpot.
  • Add Barbacoa Seasoning.
  • Cook on High 3-5 hours.
  • Rotate chicken after 2 hours.
  • Chicken is done when it shreds easily with a fork or tongs.
  • Remove Chicken from crockpot and place in heat safe bowl.
  • Shred Chicken.
  • Using a strainer to catch small stuff, ladle the broth over the chicken.
  • Chill in fridge.
  • Once cool, bag Chicken and freeze or use with 4 days.

Notes

  • The chicken can easily overcook and get mushy. Check meat starting at hour 3 to see if it shreds. The strainer keeps “mushy” small pieces from getting into the final batch.
  • Adjust the amount of seasoning to taste. More spice equals more flavor and kick to the meat.
