- Season the Chicken: Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and garlic powder (and herbs if using).
- 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.
- Cool Slightly: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking so it’s easier to handle.
- 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
