One of my family’s favorite healthy crockpot recipes is shredded chicken and crackers. This recipe is one of the creamiest and most delicious crockpot recipes we’ve tried, and the kids love it.

We get the kids involved in this recipe. They get to smash crackers, of course. Crockpot recipes make eating healthier easier, especially for busy families. In the morning, you throw all of these healthy ingredients into a pot, turn it on, and then leave.

When you return, you’ve got a healthy, hot meal ready to eat. This shredded chicken and crackers recipe for the crockpot tastes great, is easy to make, AND requires five ingredients or less.

If you don’t already have at least one crockpot, you are missing out! They come in all different shapes and sizes nowadays! They have tiny ones for dips, small ones that are great for portability, and, of course, they have larger ones for everyday use.

I love my roasting-sized crockpot for big items like ham, turkeys, or feeding a crowd! They also make crockpots specifically for casseroles now too! They’re amazing for making lasagna and other casseroles.

Shredded Chicken and Crackers Crockpot Ingredients

One of the best aspects of this recipe is the very short ingredients list. You will need a good number of chicken breasts, but luckily, they are affordable.

The rest is very easy: a frozen bag of broccoli, a can of cream of chicken soup, celery soup, and chicken broth. Lastly, the crackers and something to serve it all on, like rice.

Shredded Chicken and Crackers Crockpot Recipe

The directions for this recipe are simple, as is the case with most crockpot recipes. The first step is to prepare all of the ingredients. Then, crush the crackers in a Ziploc bag.

This is the part where you pull the kids into cooking and let them have some serious fun! Then, in a large mixing bowl, mix the chicken broth with the cream of celery and cracker crumbs.

Lastly, starting with the chicken and ending with the broccoli, add all of the ingredients to the crockpot. Set the timer and the heat, and you’re good to go.

When you return, shred the chicken using shredding forks or regular forks if you don’t have shredding forks. Serve with a side of crackers and garnish with some leftover broccoli if you want to make it look fancier.
