Description

Use this easy method for how to cook shredded chicken anytime a recipe calls for diced or shredded chicken. Perfect for enchiladas, chicken salad, and more!

Thank you so much for teaching us this method! Seems like such a basic culinary skill, yet I hadn’t done it until this evening! I really appreciate you sharing this with your readers. Now I have cooked chicken ready-to-go for next week’s lunches.

This method was so easy and the results were marvelous! I was a little doubtful at first because I’d cooked chicken in water before and i’d always over cooked it. But this chicken turned out very moist and is my go to recipe when I need diced or shredded chicken now

Using this method tonight for zucchini enchiladas! Thank you!!

I’m using this technique all the time now. Thanks for sharing this tip!!!

Ingredients

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts (8 to 12 ounces each)
Kosher salt
Black pepper

Directions

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a large pot, then season them lightly with salt and pepper. If you are cooking a lot of chicken breasts, you can overlap them slightly. If you have a lot of overlap, use a larger pot.Cover the chicken with 1 inch of water.Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Once the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer or is no longer pink in the center, about 8 to 16 minutes, depending upon the size and number of chicken breasts that you are poaching. A 10-ounce chicken breast will need to simmer for about 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the chicken from water and let rest until cool enough to handle. Dice, slice, or shred as desired.
