Shredded Chicken Recipe (Super Easy!)

• portions: 6 servings
• temps total: 20 minutes

Ingrédients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper (to taste)

3/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Sear

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and place the chicken in the skillet. Season the top of the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then use tongs to flip the chicken.

Cook

Add the chicken broth, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees fahrenheit. You can easily measure this with an instant read thermometer.

Shred

Remove the chicken from the pan and shred the chicken. There are two ways to do this - you can use two forks to shred the chicken or you can place the chicken in the bowl of your stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment on the stand mixer, lock the tilt-head down (if you have one) and increase the speed to 2. The chicken will be instantly shredded in 15 seconds. If you'd like extra moist chicken, you can add any remaining liquid from the pan to the shredded chicken and toss to combine.

Use the shredded chicken in your favorite recipes or freeze in storage containers for future use.
