My favorite uses of shredded chicken are in casseroles, soups, and CHICKEN SALAD!!! My family just loves chicken salad, and it is so easy to whip up using either my Crock Pot Shredded Chicken recipe, or left over Crock Pot Whole Chicken…or even a store bought Rotisserie Chicken. You chose which chicken route you prefer, but today I am going to share with you first my Crock Pot Shredded Chicken… and then check out my recipe for my Homemade Chicken Salad!!!

3-4 Chicken Breasts

2 Carrots- chopped in large chunks

3 stalks Celery- chopped in large chunks

1/2 medium Onion- chopped in large chunks

2 cloves Garlic, minced
