Easy Greek-style Shredded Chicken
Use your slow cooker to make this delicious chicken infused with Greek flavors!
Ingredients
- 4 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup white wine
- 1 Tb minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- 1 Tb dried oregano
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- This recipe is as easy as it gets. Arrange your frozen chicken in the Crock-Pot and turn it on to the ‘high’ setting. Whisk together the remaining ingredients and then pour over the chicken. Cover and cook for 3-4 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and can be easily pulled apart. I typically will flip and rearrange the chicken breasts once or twice while they’re cooking, but don’t sweat it if you’re not around to do so.
- Once done, pull out the chicken and use two forks to shred it up. Dump the shredded chicken back into the Crock-Pot and toss well. Turn the Crock-Pot to the ‘warm’ setting and hold until you’re ready to serve.
