Slow cooking chicken ?

6 replies

I want to make a slow cooked chicken taco mix, the recipe says to cook on high for 3 hours. Is this going to be okay for mini chicken fillets?
Do I have to brown the chicken first?

It probably won't take that long
I wouldn't brown then i would just chuck them i imagine the chicken will fall apart and shred easily.

Thank you ! I've never slow cooked chicken so not sure what'll happen 😆

I would cook lower and longer if you can. Mini breast fillets aren't great for slow cooking and they're likely to go dry. You would be better with thigh fillets

I slow cook chicken all the time, no need to brown but make sure there’s plenty of moisture/sauce in with them or it gets dry. When you’re done you can shred it with a fork and it’ll just fall apart

I use my slow cooker to save time so refuse to do anything that requires browning xD

I always find chicken goes a bit weird in the slow cooker. It’s not really a meat that lends itself to slow cooking. Honestly, cooking a chicken taco filling takes me about 30 minutes on the cooker. I’d probably just do that and save myself time.

Info this on the slow cooker regularly. I don’t brown it and throw everything in at once. I probably cook on high for 4 hours then it just falls apart for the taco.
