This Shredded Chicken is the best way to meal prep for the week. Using just chicken and water, this versatile recipe can go in salad, wraps, sandwiches, pastas and more.
Trim any undesired fat from the chicken breast and place it in a large pot. Add water to the pot, enough to completely cover the chicken.
Boil the chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through and no longer pink, approximately 15-25 minutes depending on the amount of chicken you have to boil. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit with a meat thermometer when the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the water and place in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or forks, shred the chicken until completely shredded.
Notes
Use a hand mixer to easily shred the chicken. Place chicken in a large bowl to prevent the chicken from flying everywhere.
