Simple Shredded Chicken

Properly cooking chicken is essential to avoid it turning dry and bland. Achieving thorough cooking without overdoing it can be tricky, especially as chicken doesn’t have the natural richness of some beef cuts.

Opting for shredded chicken provides a reliable method to ensure tenderness and moisture, making it an ideal canvas for enhancing flavors with cheese, sour cream, and other additions. The versatility of shredded chicken makes it resilient to variations in cooking time, making it a foolproof choice.

Instructions:

1. Add chicken pieces (any kind) to a pot or slow cooker.
2. Cover with water, chicken broth, or a combination.
3. Cook on low heat (a simmer) for 6-8 hours, or if you don’t have the time, on high heat for 3-4.
4. Remove from the liquid and pull apart with forks.
5. Salt to taste.
