Ingredients of Shredded chicken

1. Prepare 3 each of chicken breasts.

Once chicken is cool enough to handle, use two forks and pull breasts apart. If you want smaller pieces of shredded chicken, you can shred the larger chunks with your hands.

1. Season chicken breasts liberally with salt, pepper, and/or spice mix of your choice on both sides..
2. Heat oil in a pan until shimmering..

6. After an hour, pull chicken apart with 2 forks. Mix the shreds with the sauce in the pan, add more broth if needed, and continue cooking until desired tenderness (I usually go another hour and a half or so)..
7. Use shreds in pasta, on salads, in tacos, pizza, BBQ sandwiches, etc..

I like to serve the chicken with warm tortillas, rice, beans and salsa. For an equally awesome dish, you can substitute beef or pork for the chicken. Purchase a whole chicken or chicken pieces. Generally, the best shredded chicken comes from a whole chicken, as you will get both white and dark meat. You can buy chicken pieces, but you may end up with too much white meat or too much dark meat.
