Notes
- For easy shredding: Use a stand-mixer. The fork method works just fine, but it takes only 1 minute to shred in my Kitchen-Aid! (I like using the paddle attachment.)
- After shredding chicken: You can add more than the recommended amount of reserved broth, until desired consistency/flavor is reached.
