[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]
