Shredded Chicken- Easy Meal Plan

Kira and Michelle at sunshineandhurricanes.com

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 lbs. of chicken
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 1 T salt
  • 1 T pepper
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • Optional: onion celery, roughly chopped and added to water. If I do add the veggies, I keep the water afterwards because you've just made homemade chicken broth! Bonus!

Instructions
 

  • Fill a stock pot 2/3 full of water
  • Add the chicken & all the other ingredients, stir well
  • Bring water to a boil. cover and reduce to a simmer for the next hour or until meat is thoroughly cooked. I cook for that length so the meat easily shreds for me when I remove it from the water.
  • Take chicken from pot, place in a deep bowl and use 2 forks to pull the meat apart until it is fully shredded.
