Simple Stove Top Shredded Chicken
- 1 pound chicken (I usually like using chicken breast but you can use thighs or whole chicken)
- Water or broth, enough to cover the chicken
- Pinch of salt if using water
- In a pot, heat water or broth. Add chicken pieces and make sure they get submerged under water or broth.
- Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for 5-10 minutes or until chicken turns pale white inside and out.
- That means it;s fully cooked but you don't want to overdo the simmering part too or it will leave you with chewy chicken.
- Take it out. Strain and using two forks shred the meat.
- Store once cooled in ziplock bags or airtight containers.
- I like to write the date on top as well so I know when I made it.
- It lasts for 2-3 days in refrigerator and upto 1-2 months in freezer.
