  1. Season the Chicken: Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and garlic powder (and herbs if using).
  2. Cook Low and Slow:
    • Slow Cooker: Place chicken and broth in the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 4–5 hours.
    • Instant Pot: Add broth and chicken. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes, then natural release for 5 minutes.
  3. Cool Slightly: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking so it’s easier to handle.
  4. Shred into Strands: Use two forks, or even your fingers, to gently pull the meat apart. You’ll notice the fibers naturally separating into long, spaghetti-like strands.

How to Use Spaghetti Chicken

The cool thing about this method isn’t just how it looks — it’s also super versatile. Try these ideas:

  • Low-carb chicken “pasta” – toss the strands with pesto or marinara sauce
  • Protein-packed salad topper
  • Stuffed into wraps or lettuce cups
  • Mixed with rice or grains for added texture

Final Thoughts: It’s Not a Mutation — It’s Just Good Cooking

While the original photo might have seemed shocking, there’s no mystery meat here — just the natural texture of chicken breast when cooked in a way that preserves and highlights its muscle structure.

So the next time you want to wow your dinner guests or spice up your meal prep, try making spaghetti chicken. Who knew poultry could be this fun?
