Shredded Chicken

SHREDDED CHICKEN

Come link up your party ideas for this week's Saturday's Party!  See link HERE.

You ever have one of those recipes you think "I'm going to make that today!" and you get started and about 1/2 way through, you realize you're missing some ingredients?  And you can't get to the grocery store, so then you just make the rest of the recipe up?


Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one!  This was one of those recipes. In the end it turned out tasty, with just enough flavor.  We made quick quesadillas the first time, and have plans for enchiladas and tacos later with the leftovers I froze.

SHREDDED CHICKEN
Posted at: http://recipesofacheapskate.blogspot.com
  • 3 lbs chicken breasts, frozen
  • 1 1/4 cup italian salad dressing
  • 1 Tbsp crushed or minced garlic
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon pepper
  • 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 3-4 Tbsp your favorite bbq sauce
Place chicken in the crockpot.  Cover with salad dressing, garlic, and lemon pepper.  Cook on low for about 5 hours, until the chicken is cooked through, and shreds easily.  Shred chicken, and place back in the crockpot.  Add lemon juice and bbq sauce.  Cook for about 30 minutes.  Use for tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, etc.  Or freeze in portions, and pull out as you want.
If using thawed chicken, adjust time accordingly--aka--watch the crockpot! :)

  1. Great idea using a crock pot to do this. I like freezing it in portion size bags so all I have to do is grab a bag from the freezer and toss it on a stir fry, or soup, or enchiladas, or chicken pie etc...
