Shredded Chicken and Keto Chicken Salad Recipe

A couple of months ago, my sister told me about an easy way to shred chicken which involves using an electric mixer.  This has been a GAME CHANGER for me, so I thought I'd share this with all of you as well!  I will never again use a fork to shred chicken!

Making shredded chicken in the crock pot is so easy, and then you can use the shredded chicken for a variety of things!  Today I am sharing my favorite Keto Chicken Salad recipe which I found on Pinterest (click here for the recipe).

I often will make a batch of this shredded chicken and have it in the fridge for the week. You can eat it plain, on salads, or make it into chicken salad.  There are so many great chicken salad recipes on Pinterest besides the one I posted above.

Here is my sister's recipe for shredded chicken.

Shredded Chicken 

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

salt and pepper

Clean the chicken breasts and trim away any fat.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place in a greased crock pot.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.  Place cooked chicken breasts in a big bowl and shred the chicken by using an electric mixer.  It will only take 1-2 minutes to shred!  If you have large chicken breasts, this will give you about 6 cups of shredded chicken.

Tip:  When I clean chicken breasts, I place a couple of plastic grocery bags on my counter top, then place a few paper tops on top of the bags.  This makes it really easy to clean up afterwards.  I just roll up the plastic bags and wipe the counter clean.

This spring, I often took chicken salad in my lunch box and ate it with a lettuce wrap.  I'd eat about 1 cup of the chicken salad and used 4-5 romaine lettuce leaves total.  I like to sprinkle sliced almonds on top as well.  This is also a great lunch option when you are traveling on the road, or having a beach day!  

Use your mixer!  It's so fast!
