How to make Shredded Chicken

There are a few ways you can make shredded chicken to add to these Family Favorite Chicken Recipes featured this week:

  • Rotisserie chicken - stop on your way home from work and purchase a rotisserie chicken. You can even buy a few and freeze them.
  • Make a whole roast chicken for Sunday dinner, then shred up the leftovers and use for the week's meal plan. Better yet, why not roast two whole chickens???
  • Crock Pot Chicken Breasts - this is how I usually make shredded chicken. Making chicken in the crock pot is really easy and the chicken is very tender.
  • Check out this collection of Shredded Chicken Recipes for more ideas on creating meal plans with this versatile protein.

📌Quick Tip: When using shredded chicken for a dinner recipe, a helpful tip is to avoid overcooking it as this can cause the chicken to become dry and tough.
