Read more posts by Natasha How long does chicken go in crockpot?Place the chicken and stock, broth, or water in a 4-quart or larger slow cooker. Cook the chicken. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and registers an internal temperature of 165°F, 4 to 5 hours on the LOW setting, or 2 to 3 hours on the HIGH setting. Shred the chicken.
Does slow cooker chicken need liquid?Do You Need to Add Liquid? As long as the breast pieces are in a single layer, in contact with the slow cooker, then no, it's not necessary. If you're doing multiple layers, you will need to add liquid to cover the meat, but I don't recommend this. The seasonings won't stick as well.
Can you overcook shredded chicken?Yes, it is possible! If the meat is cooked too long it could end up dry and not juicy and tender. The recommended times in my recipe are ideal for juicy results, but if you use less chicken than the recipe calls for I would recommend checking it sooner.
Is it safe to cook raw chicken in a slow cooker?Research conducted by USDA FSIS indicates it's safe to cook large cuts of meat and poultry in a slow cooker.
