Anything. Burrito, salads, wraps, tacos, mix it with eggs, pita pockets, sandwiches etc.. You don't have to shred the chicken either in the above recipes. Just keep it whole or dice it.
Cory Lynn it’s everything you might put in a burrito without the tortilla. Cheese ,rice , beans , chicken , tomatoes , salsa , sour cream , green onions , cilantro .. whatever you like.
Big tip: If cooking on low, cook it for 5 hours, shred it, toss it in whatever sauce/juice you've got in the slow cooker, and let it sit for another hour on Low before storing it/bagging it. It greatly helps with getting that flavor deeply penetrated into the shredded chicken. I learned this when making Italian beef, and trust me, it's a day and night difference in flavor, there is no other way to do it.
Loved this video except when I clicked thru to find the recipe for BBQ chicken and the exact amounts etc I couldn't find them. I scrolled and scrolled and fought off the pop up ads and only found vague descriptions. Help.
Out flippin standing, I have incorporated all these into my cooking rotation. All are excellent for meal preps and large group pleasing dishes. I am forever tweaking the bbq mix depending on desired sweetness or smokiness. I use the mexican chicken as the chicken for tortilla soup! Your seasonings work great for grilling and some fish dishes!
This is so helpful… I made the garlic one and it came in so handy throughout the week! It was delish with a little mayo for a chicken salad wrap! Yum!!!
LOVE THAT YOU PUT YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPES UNDERNEATH SO WE CAN HAVE THEM FOR LATER FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO CANNOT COOK MAKES IT EASIER THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND CARING
I can’t wait to try these! I will try the bbq first! I’ve never liked to cook chicken in the crock pot because they came out almost mushy. I WAS COOKING THEM TOO LONG! I LOVE cooking and shredding chicken in advance and keeping them in meal-sized bags to pull out and quickly & easily heat when needed. THANKS!!!
Great video! I'm learning how to cook because of covid-19. Your presentation and instructions are simple and easy to follow. I'm most excited to try the barbecue and Mexican shredded chicken recipes! Cheers
I often check my thickest chicken piece with a quick read thermometer and it is often up to about 175F which means it is definitely done. Act quickly to put did back on!! Then there is no question about whether the chicken is done or getting close.
Lol first 90secs I was waiting for her to blink. Eyes so wide open shows the passion and confidence. Or is she slow cooker coo coo? Lol great instructions
So far I have made the simple shredded chicken and mexican chicken and they were both so good! The chicken is definitely much more tender and juicier this way thanks for sharing!!
Not a fan of spicy chicken. But I plan to try these other ideas. I never though about adding boneless thighs to my chicken! I'm so excited to try some of these! I've been doing pretty good with meal prepping but badly needed new ideas to mix it up. Thanks!!!!
I just subscribed to you after watching you're meal prep container video because I was trying to find the best glass containers.... you have really good content. Very informative .
Maybe I'm blind, but how much of each ingredient (oil, salt, seasonings, sauces, etc.) do we add for each of these recipes? Or do we eyeball it from your video? I also went to your website, but don't see any info on this. Thanks! Look forward to trying these out.
This link should take you directly to the recipes on my website: www.asweetpeachef.com/slow-cooker-shredded-chicken/#wprm-recipe-container-30148 Please let me know if you need more help!
What size and make & model is your slow cooker ? I have an instant pot but the inside of the inner-pot chipped so the I can see the black inside ( I got a new inner pot and the same thing happened) so I am back to my old trusty slow cooker. Thanks.
I want to make a plain kind that I can then add to other things. I'll do the plain one and then split it into freezer containers. They all sound yummy. Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely adding thighs. I've never liked white meat.
Could you use this method with a regular pot on the stovetop? Do the times vary? If so, how much time would you use for, say, the first recipe with a regular pot and stove? Greetings from Argentina
Yes, you totally could, but it wouldn’t be as easy to walk away from lol. For the same amount of chicken, it’ll prob take about 30-45 minutes, but won’t be as tender or juicy because it won’t be slow cooked - hopefully that makes sense :)
I've seen videos where they add water to the chicken in the crockpot. So is adding water to the crockpot before cooking the chicken a good thing or a bad thing ??
When you eat the chicken left overs from the fridge do you eat it cold? If I warm chicken up in the microwave it tastes nasty. It is safe to eat cold after its cooked?
THAT IS ONE LUCKY FORTUNATE HAPPY HUSBAND ! thank you sweet pea you got my attention ! your tactics is helping me to learn how to cook and prep ! and eat responsibility ! SUBSCRIBED ! and a THUMBS UP ! TY :) and thank you youtube !
i cook my chicken in reverse osmosis water........ then just add seasoning... gonna try the one with my own bbq sauce thank you... im also gonna start adding chicken thighs for a tastier chicken blend .... :0
Thank you for showing the actual deployment into the cooking apparatus. Please show these actions for the freezer prep packs. A LOT of people are asking for this part of the equation. Come thru for us Sweet Pea!
What kind of dishes can you use shredded. Chicken in? I can only think of tacos.
Anything. Burrito, salads, wraps, tacos, mix it with eggs, pita pockets, sandwiches etc.. You don't have to shred the chicken either in the above recipes. Just keep it whole or dice it.
@@pintobean8935 Great answer, Anjuli! I also would add bowls - just make a burrito bowl :)
A Sweet Pea Chef, may I ask what a burrito bowl is?
Cory Lynn it’s everything you might put in a burrito without the tortilla.
Cheese ,rice , beans , chicken , tomatoes , salsa , sour cream , green onions , cilantro .. whatever you like.
Chicken salad sandwiches
Bbq chicken sandwiches
Buffalo chicken dip
Chicken, broccoli and rice casserole
Chicken spaghetti

Hi. Curious about freezing for travel. Any special instructions? Thank you!
I actually understand you. Feels like I could do this if I just go grab the ingredients. I appreciate that 🙂
Love the variations...thanks for sharing! I'm going to make the Mexican shredded chicken first!
Yay! So glad you like the options!
How long did you cook it?
Do you have a recipe without Garlic Powder in it? We can not have Garlic but all your recipes sounds so yummy.
Hi Madam Lacey, do you have any idea to share how to make this kind of prep by using a beef.. Thanks !
Thanks for this video, so clear and excellent that you put all details below
Not a fan of spicy chicken. But I plan to try these other ideas. I never though about adding boneless thighs to my chicken! I'm so excited to try some of these! I've been doing pretty good with meal prepping but badly needed new ideas to mix it up. Thanks!!!!
You’ve saved me money. Thank you.
I cannot wait to try these especially the garlic and olive oil.
I just subscribed to you after watching you're meal prep container video because I was trying to find the best glass containers.... you have really good content. Very informative .
Thanks for the recipes..i really needed it
I’m looking for a bigger crock pot...I never found the link to the crock pot you are using! I need a 7 to 8 quart
I love how easy this is! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the recipes. Gonna try it out !
THANK YOU! So many good recipes!
yay, you're so welcome!! Thanks for the support :)
Are you not putting in water or chicken stock? I don't have all the ingredients you listed but was gonna try chicken, garlic and basil.
It looks so good, but I have Insta Pot . How would you transfer to these recipes to it? Thanks.
Hey Lacey, love these recipes, I've only tried the buffalo so far but it is a staple of my meal prep! Thanks for the tips! :)
Maybe I'm blind, but how much of each ingredient (oil, salt, seasonings, sauces, etc.) do we add for each of these recipes? Or do we eyeball it from your video? I also went to your website, but don't see any info on this. Thanks! Look forward to trying these out.

All these sound great, but my husband won"t eat a lot of chicken, what is the best substiture?
Maybe a pork loin
"Messy and fast", just how I like it ;)
Beef Broth ha!
You must be an Aries
lol
I like messy and fast
Very nice. I'll give it a shot this week!

Hey wondering about the bbq chicken recipe. Your video says tomato sauce and paste, but your website says sea sat twice and only tomate paste not salt
Can I eat the chicken cold once being in the fridge ? Or do I have to cook it in micro then eat ??
Is it ok to freeze the shredded chicken? Does it affect the taste?
Add chicken, taco packet, jar of salsa, cream of chicken. Cook 4 hours, then add some sour cream. It's amazing
Whoa that hand mixer hack changed my life 👏🏻👏🏻I hate shredding chicken hahaha!
This was such a help! Thank you for posting🎉
Good god this video was amazing, actually answered some questions I had. Thanks for the info girl!
About what? Slow cooked chicken?
Yay! Thanks for the feedback!!
Could you use this method with a regular pot on the stovetop? Do the times vary? If so, how much time would you use for, say, the first recipe with a regular pot and stove? Greetings from Argentina

New to your channel and I just wanted to say I love your videos! I can’t wait to try these recipes. ☺️
Heather Lowe yay! Thanks so much for saying hello!
Can please put a link for the meal prep container you used please. Thanks
Alex
Sure! You can find them at www.asweetpeachef.com/glass-meal-prep-containers/ 👍
I got them in Ikea
@@paulcassidy6016nice I did easy way pressed order on Amazon prime 1 day shipping here by drone lol
I've seen videos where they add water to the chicken in the crockpot. So is adding water to the crockpot before cooking the chicken a good thing or a bad thing ??
It’s fine to add water, but I don’t so it doesn’t dilute the flavor or sauce. I haven’t found it necessary.
Does this freeze well?
Make a vedio for kids school lunch box for 5 days which will really help working moms.
Can I make this in 4.5 quart slow cooker??
Yep 👍
How can we make it more juicy?
Make a homemade rotisserie seasoning blend and boy is it yummy.
My boyfriend LOVES the Buffalo chicken recipe! Thank you 🙏🏻
Do you practice bugging your eyes out as big as you can and blinking as little as possible? If so you've nailed it.
What crock pot do you use?
Can you freeze these?
Made Mexican chicken tonight y es delicioso!!!!!!
Hi what do you do regards excess water
Do u put oil before u put the chicken in?
Do these freeze well?
On the BBQ chicken recipe, why do you have sea salt and pepper on there twice with 2 different amounts? Not sure how much to use, thanks!
Emilie Borke I have the full ingredients list for the recipes in the description so you’ll know exactly what I’m using 😘
How long does the chicken last in the fridge?
What size slow cooker is this cooked in? 🤷🏽
I'm trying cilantro one first
I’m gonna try this with a jar of hatch green chilies
Ben gibb yea! Great idea
If you were to freeze these after making them how long would they be good in the freezer?
If packed well, in the freezer they would last a long time. I meal prep/freeze all the time and have been doing it for many years.
It should stay in the freezer for close to 3 months, if you pack it well :)
When you eat the chicken left overs from the fridge do you eat it cold? If I warm chicken up in the microwave it tastes nasty. It is safe to eat cold after its cooked?
cook it in the slow cooker for 3 or 2 mins
If I don't have a slow cooker, I will just add water, right?
Do the leftovers freeze and defrost well?
Where are the recipes listed?
Excellent! Cooking with chicken breasts and thighs makes sense.
Always great ideas
You're so sweet - thanks for the support!
Thank you for this video!!! Nomore dry chicken.
Do you need to add water ?
