These are seriously good, and the whole family will love them!
This chicken is also delightful on salad greens, in a “rice bowl,” in a corn or flour tortilla.
We love shredded chicken because of how many different ways it can be served. When I make this, I often double up and then let the cooked shredded chicken cool. From there, I’ll freeze it like that or make it up into something like enchiladas or pasta casserole and freeze that. With as busy as our lives are, it’s so helpful to be “one step ahead” and have meals prepped in the freezer to simply reheat for dinner.
Enjoy!
