Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 /6 of recipe, calories 158.7 kcal, Protein 24.8 g, Fat 5.9 g, Saturated Fat 1.3 g, Cholesterol 68 mg, Sodium 64 mg

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth

Instruction:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Use the shredded chicken in your favorite recipes or freeze in storage containers for future use.

FAQ

What to do with dry shredded chicken?

Shred it and warm with stock

Chicken stock or broth is the best liquid to impart flavor and moisture back into dry chicken. Warm your broth over a medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Place your shredded chicken in the pan until it is barely covered with enough broth to coat the chicken.

What’s the difference between shredded chicken and pulled chicken?

There is no difference between shredded chicken and pulled chicken; both terms can be used interchangeably. Both refer to meat cooked until tender, then “pulled” or “shredded” along the meat’s grain. Shredded and pulled chicken are popular in sandwiches, soups, pizzas, tacos, enchiladas, and casseroles.

Is it better to shred chicken before or after cooking?

Let chicken cool slightly before shredding it. If it’s too hot it will lose all of its juices and/or burn your hands or steam up your mixer when you shred it. Shred chicken while it’s warm. Warm chicken shreds much easier than cold.

How long does cook shredded chicken last?

How Long Is Cooked Chicken Good For In the Fridge? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) recommendations, leftover cooked chicken should be refrigerated at 40 F (or less) and used within 3 to 4 days. The USDA notes that while refrigeration slows bacterial growth, it does not stop it.
