Meal Prep: 5 Simple Recipes Using Easy Shredded Chicken Recipe // addapinch.com

When school starts back each year, it seems like everything else in the world starts back at the same time – regardless if it is school related or not. The long, lazy days of summer screech to a halt regardless of how much I protest that I’m not ready for them to end.

My family maps out our calendars and notes commitments for every night of the week with the exception of one, and we also quickly realize we have events on our calendars that are the same time, yet different places on a few of those nights.

This probably sounds all too familiar to you, too. It’s our face-paced, do-it-all lifestyles.

Even though we’re headed from here to there and back again, I still want to have a homemade supper for my family as much as possible. On those most hectic of weeks, I turn to a few meal prep strategies for help.

I previously shared with you my Easy Shredded Chicken Recipe. Well, friends, today let’s talk about five delicious recipes where that chicken surely saves the day!

  2. Hi Robyn,

    I am just learning how to cook, and I am wondering how much water to add when making chicken in a slow cooker. I have seen recipes that say not to put any water when making chicken because it produces its own juices, so I am never sure what to do. Should I put just enough to completely cover the amount of chicken I have?

    Thanks!!
    Amy

  3. Great idea! I have so many recipes that can use your slow cooker chicken recipe– noes few more. Will definitely be doing this!

    1. Hi Rhoda! Yes, that’s one of the best things about it. You can use frozen or thawed chicken.
