Crockpot Chicken

Slow cooker chicken dinners, from shredded chicken to creamy one-pot meals.

Chicken is the easiest place to start with a slow cooker. Breasts and thighs cook gently for hours, stay tender, and shred with two forks for tacos, rice bowls, sandwiches and salads. This collection covers salsa chicken, curry, orange chicken, creamy chicken and more.

Each recipe gives LOW and HIGH times for the cut it uses and the safe internal temperature (165°F / 74°C). Thighs handle long cook times better than breasts, so we tell you when to check breasts early so they do not dry out.
