The liquid at the bottom can make the chicken mushy if it’s shredded directly in the crockpot.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and place it in a separate bowl before shredding it.

Keep an eye on the chicken if you must cook it on high, as it can dry out quickly. In most cases, 5 hours on low should do the trick.

Avoid cooking chicken breasts for more than 6 hours on low or high for more than 2-3 hours for the juiciest shredded chicken.

Plus, chicken breasts are a blank canvas that can absorb the flavors of your recipe. While chicken thighs will work, they’re fattier and can result in greasier shredded chicken.

Stick to boneless skinless chicken breasts for the best results.
