Cannabis Crockpot Shredded Chicken | Dinner Edibles Recipe

I love making this chicken and storing the leftovers in the freezer for the nights when I need more hours in the day. Using frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot overnight is a total game-changer. I prefer to keep the seasoning basic so I can transform this shredded chicken into a variety of meals, from tacos and hot wing dip to BBQ chicken over rice, chicken salad sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, or a comforting chicken pot pie. Plus, you can use the leftover cooking liquid as a nutritious, flavorful broth! By following these Stoner Strategies, you can master the art of efficient meal prep for your cannabis edibles.

Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 8–12+ hours

• Makes: ~6 cups chicken and 2 cups broth

• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 lbs Chicken breasts

• 2 cups Chicken or vegetable broth

• 2 tbsp Salt

• 1 tbsp Ground black pepper

• 1 tbsp Ground ginger

• 1 tbsp Ground turmeric

• 400mg Cannabis tincture

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Set Up: Set your crockpot to low heat. Add the chicken breasts, broth, salt, pepper, ginger, turmeric, and your measured cannabis tincture. Cover with a tight-fitting lid.

2. Cook: Cook for 6 hours if using frozen chicken, or 4 hours if using thawed chicken.

3. Flip: Carefully flip the chicken over and recover the crockpot. Allow it to cook for another 4+ hours, or until the chicken easily shreds with the touch of a fork.

4. Finish: Shred the chicken breasts directly in the pot and mix them back into the juices. Cover and cook on "warm" or "low" for an additional 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5. Strain: Place a large bowl in your sink and set a strainer inside it. Carefully strain the chicken from the liquid. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.

6. Store: Allow the broth to cool before transferring to an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Divide the shredded chicken as needed, allow the cannabis-enhanced chicken to cool completely, and store in airtight containers or Ziploc bags. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: Consistency is everything. Shredding the chicken while it is still slightly warm makes the process much easier, and mixing it back into the juices for that final 30-minute simmer ensures every bite is flavorful. This is a crucial Stoner Strategies technique for high-quality cannabis edibles.

• Broth Gold: Don't toss that cooking liquid! It is packed with flavor and nutrients. Using it as a base for soups or risottos is a fantastic way to maximize your edibles recipe ingredients.

• Storage: To make life easier, freeze the chicken and the broth in portion-sized bags. When you need a quick meal, you’ll have pre-made cannabis edibles ready to go.
