    [one_half]What's not to love about shredded chicken?  It's moist, full of flavor, and above all - It's convenient to use in so many recipes!  As an added bonus to my sanity on those busy days, I like to cook large batches of chicken at once, and then package them for use later.  This saves me valuable time as a busy working Mom.  However, don't be afraid to just cook enough for what you will immediately use.  It's so quick to throw in a Crock-pot in the morning before you leave the house for the day and it will be ready to shred when you get home.  A fabulous meal will only take minutes when you get home.  It's really that easy!

    I have found that a little goes a long way.  I like to cook my chicken with broth to keep it moist and garlic to add extra flavor.  It does make a difference, so just pour it in and let it cook.

    Shredded Chicken as a base ingredient can be used in a variety of meals.  Make sure to check out the other recipes here![/one_half][one_half_last]Shredded Chicken
