What is the best way to prepare shredded chicken?

I usually take a couple of breast an put them in boiling water with a chopped onion. After they are thoroughly cooked (meat tears apart with a fork) I drain them and let them cool until they are not too hot to handle. Then I use my fingers and shred them.

This shredded cold chicken is great for burritos, enchiladas, chicken salad sandwiches, etc.

I would slow cook it (think crockpot) in some chicken broth for flavor. Then it would be nice and tender, and shredable.

When I need shredded chicken, I boil chicken breasts in seasoned water or chicken broth until they're ready to fall apart. Then I drain them, reserving the liquid, and set them aside to cool. By the time they're cooled off the chicken usually shreds really easy with a fork.

I took a look at the recipe you're using and it sounds delicious! I added it to my own All Recipes Recipe Box. Thanks!

You can boil it, but you need to be careful, as boiling it can actually dry it out--that's why when chicken to a soup recipe you add the meat at the end. The crock pot works well if you have time. DO NOT add liquid--to avoid the drying out problems that arise with boiling.DO leave the skin on, and place the whole chicken , or pieces, in the pot.

Sprinkle with seasoning, cover and forget until dinner time. If you're in a hurry, microwaving can work well. Wrap the chicken in plastic wrap, or place in a covered container, and microwave according to your oven's directions--different ovens will take different amount of time.

After cooking the chicken , let it cool, then pull it apart with your fingers to shred it. Roasting or grilling would be fine as well--but a moist heat method will make it more "shreddable".

For something like a soup, it really doesn't matter how you cook it. Easiest would be to simply boil it in a flavored broth, but tastiest would be to grill it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
