Shredding Chicking

This really isn't a nutritional tip, so I am not going to number it. However, this is a kitchen tip I wish I knew about a long time ago.

It takes forever to shred cooked chicken. I don't have any fancy shredding equipment. Usually, I would just take two forks and have at it. Well, one day, my husband came home from work and pointed to my stand mixer. What in the world did that have to do with chicken?

If you have a counter top stand mixer, put one piece of chicken at a time in the mixing bowl. Attach the flat beater (not the dough hook or the whisk attachment). Simply turn on the mixer to the stir or #2 level. Run until it is the desired consistency. What used to take me about 15 minutes to do is now done in seconds. Hope that saves you some time too.
