Techniques: Shredding Chicken

One of the most useful techniques I've come to appreciate is how to shred chicken. You don't need any fancy machinery or technical know-how, just two forks and some elbow grease. Chicken is very much a utility meat, and shredding is just another way to use it.

I start with thinly cut chicken breasts. Brown the chicken and once cooked, go to town with the two forks. Use one fork to hold the meat while the other pulls away from it.



I've used shredded chicken in soups and casseroles, but I'm sure there are a hundred other uses.
