Directions
My “famous” Shredded Chicken, Now, to me this really isn’t a recipe, but I was telling a friend how I make shredded chicken for recipes and she said I should post it. It always comes out tender, and has frozen well for me. I usually make double at once for oamc since it is so easy., Thank you for this recipe! Perfect for me, as I always seem to forget to defrost my chicken in advance. :-/, used chicken bouillon instead of broth to save money. used kitchen scissors to shred chicken super quick. You can put the kitchen scissors afterwards in the dishwasher for quick cleaning. Turned out great and the broth created is excellent for soup!
