Notes
Chicken Amounts:
1 pound raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, yields about 3 cups cooked shredded chicken.
To Shred Chicken Using Stand Mixer:
To shred chicken with your stand mixer, it needs to be warm and moist. You can roast, poach, braise or steam the chicken. Rotisserie chicken works too! (remove skin/bones). Cut chicken pieces so they're no larger than a deck of cards. Place warm chicken in stand mixer and use the flat beater on low speed to start shredding the chicken. You can increase the speed a little once it starts shredding.
To Shred Chicken with a Hand Mixer:
You can alternatively shred chicken with your hand mixer too! Use the regular "turbo" beaters and low speed.
