FAQs

How do you make your shredded chicken breast?

If I’m not using a rotisserie chicken, I prepare my shredded chicken by placing 2 chicken breasts and 1/2 cup chicken broth in the crockpot for 4+ hrs until you can shred with a fork. If you don’t want to do crockpot chicken, you can substitute this for rotisserie chicken! Making it an even easier recipe.
