how to shred chicken like a champ

People--this has changed my domestic life.

Maybe this is old news to some but it's new to me! I'm actually kind of mad it didn't dawn on me sooner.

I don't like chicken chunks. I prefer my meat shredded. Typically, shredding is a lot of work so I tend to avoid it.

Not anymore!!

At the beginning of every week I boil my chicken breasts. Then I throw them in my electric mixer with the paddle attachment. Start slow here. Trust me--if you start out at a medium to high speed their will be chicken boobies flying all over your kitchen. You've got to work your way up to the higher speeds.

A machine shreds the chicken for you. It's beautiful, effortless, and oh so fast!

I sprinkle some salt and pepper on it, throw it in a bag and toss it in the fridge. I use it for lunch and dinner for the next few nights or so. Enchiladas, chicken salad, casseroles, green salads, pasta salads, anything really.

Super helpful in the kitchen.
