Simple Shredded Chicken
Simple Shredded Chicken
August 28, 2015
This simple shredded chicken is quite possibly one of my favorite things on Earth. This recipe is especially versatile across 1000s of recipes, regardless of origin. This chicken is simple with only bay leaves to flavor it. The real flavor comes later when you add it to your favorite recipe. Mix it with some salsa and make tacos. Add BBQ sauce and you have an awesome sandwich. Throw it on a salad. Toss it in soups. I almost always have this simple shredded chicken in my fridge (and/or freezer) for those lazy days when cubing chicken is just too much effort (you know what I mean...). I highly recommend you double, even triple, this recipe to make a backup supply.
