Easy Shredded Chicken

Shredded chicken is one of the main recipes I make every week. It’s such an easy way to cook chicken breasts. Shredded chicken can be used in so many different ways! It’s a healthy addition to soups, salads, pasta, tacos, wraps or sandwiches.

I have been making this rotisserie style shredded chicken in my slow-cooker for years. That was until I bought an Instant Pot. I picked up an Instant Pot during the Black Friday sales and it was a game changer for me!

Seriously friends, if you do not have an Instant Pot buy one. It is SO worth the investment!

Rotisserie Style Seasoning

I really, really, really do not like dry, underseasoned chicken breasts. So I came up with a perfect light seasoning blend that would compliment any way you decided to use the shredded chicken. The seasoning mix is a rotisserie style seasoning that is easily made with the spices you probably already have in your pantry.

Shredded Chicken In A Few Easy Steps

Add all of the seasonings to a small bowl and stir it together to make the rotisserie seasoning blend. (photo 1)

Add olive oil to the bottom of your pan to help keep the chicken breasts from sticking.

Pour the gluten-free chicken broth into a glass measuring cup or bowl. You can also use bone broth or make your own broth by using gluten-free bouillon.

Add the rotisserie seasoning blend to the gluten-free chicken broth and stir to combine.

Pour the seasoned chicken broth over the chicken breasts and place the lid on the post. (photo 3)

For the Instant Pot: turn the valve to sealing, and select Manual, high pressure for 12 minutes. It will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure and start counting down. Once the cook time is over, turn the Instant Pot off and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Make sure inner chicken temp reaches to 165 degrees. Shred the chicken breasts with the remaining liquid in the pot. I like to use my hand mixer to shred the chicken. Serve and enjoy! (photo 4)

For the slow-cooker: cook on low 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Make sure inner chicken temp reaches to 165 degrees. Once the cook time is over, turn the slow-cooker off. Pour some of the liquid out of the pot and shred the chicken breasts with the remaining liquid in the pot. I like to use my hand mixer to shred the chicken. Serve and enjoy!

Pro Tip: You can freeze any leftovers. Just make sure the chicken comes to room temperature before you place into the freezer bags.

How To Shred The Chicken Breasts

There are a couple ways to shred the chicken once it is cooked. Chicken breasts coming out of your pressure cooker or crockpot are nice and tender and you can easily use two forks to shred them.

I personally like to break out my hand mixer for a quick and easy way to shred the chicken breasts. Not only is it quick but it shreds the chicken breasts pretty uniformly, so you have the same sized shreds.

Shredded Chicken Sandwiches

One of my family’s favorite way to eat the shredded chicken is to make sandwiches with Schär Ciabatta Rolls.

The Schär Ciabatta Rolls are perfect for shredded chicken sandwiches. The Ciabatta rolls are soft and will not crumble while you are eating them. They are also the perfect size for the shredded chicken sandwiches too.

I like to make my sandwiches southern style with coleslaw and bread and butter pickles. The creamy coleslaw and crunchy pickles totally compliment the savory seasoning of the shredded chicken. (my kids like them plain)

Seriously, don’t knock it until you try it my friends. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Schär has a whole line of certified gluten-free bread, buns, rolls, crackers, cookies, pizza crust and so much more.

I also love that I am able to find my favorite Schär products at my local Walmart. You can also use their store finder to see where you can find their products near you.
