Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Sear: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and place the chicken in the skillet. Season the top of the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, then use tongs to flip the chicken.
  2. Cook: Add the chicken broth, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 7-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can easily measure this with an instant-read thermometer.
  3. Shred: Remove the chicken from the pan and shred the chicken. You can use two forks to shred the chicken or place the chicken in the bowl of your stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment on the stand mixer, lock the tilt-head down (if you have one) and increase the speed to 2. The chicken will be instantly shredded in 15 seconds. For extra moist chicken, add any remaining liquid from the pan to the shredded chicken and toss to combine.

Notes

Notes:
