Notes
To easily shred your chicken once cooked, add the chicken breasts to the bowl of a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment and turn your mixer to the ‘medium’ setting. This is my best tip for quickly shredding chicken, but you can always pull it together with two forks if you don’t have a stand mixer.
