Shredded Chicken
A versatile way to prepare chicken so it can be incorporated into many recipes.
Ingredients
- 8 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- seasoning salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Spray the sheet pan with nonstick spray.
- Place the chicken breasts on the sheet pan - be sure to leave a little room between each one for more even cooking.
- Drizzle a little olive oil on each chicken breast, then sprinkle them each with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt.
- Cook the chicken for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Allow the chicken to cool enough to touch it, or about one hour.
- Use two forks, a mixer, or your hands to shred the chicken.
- Refrigerate or freeze the chicken for future use, or use it immediately.
Notes
- Each chicken breast yields close to 2 cups of shredded chicken.
- Seasonings on the chicken can be changed - these seasonings are meant to be versatile for use in most recipes.
