Easy Shredded Chicken
Serves 30
Prep time 3 minutes
Cook time 1 hour
Total time 1 hours, 3 minutes
Meal type Main Dish
Slightly adapted from recipe on David's Free Recipes
Super easy shredded chicken is great to have on hand for hectic, last-minute dinners! Really versatile -- and did I mention easy???

Ingredients

  • 4 Pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast (You can use thighs if you prefer)
  • water (enough to cover chicken)
  • 1 Tablespoon chili powder (I use chipotle chili powder)
  • 1 Teaspoon each: kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and cumin

Note

This recipe is thanks to one I found on David's Free Recipes.  He wrote, "Just like the taco shops in San Diego." I was hooked!  You will be too!  I make extra and freeze to use when I just don't feel like cooking. Also, the broth created as you're simmering the chicken is delicious -- I use it as a base for chicken tortilla soup.

Enjoy! - The Recipe Wench

Directions

Step 1
Place chicken in large pot.
Add just enough water to cover chicken.
Add seasonings.
Bring all to a boil.
Continue boiling for 10 minutes then reduce to a simmer.
Continue simmering until chicken is tender and falling apart (about 30-45 minutes).
Remove chicken and allow to cool before shredding.
