Shreddedchickenandcheese Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken in a single layer in the bottom of a large saucepan. Pour in cool water until chicken is covered by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred meat with 2 forks when cool enough to handle. Discard poaching liquid.

Cook, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan., Add onions and green pepper; cook and stir 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in seasonings; cook 1-2 minutes. Add tomato and remaining broth; pour over chicken. Cook, covered, on low 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender., Remove chicken from slow cooker. When cool enough to handle, shred meat with two forks; return to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 15-20 minutes longer or until heated through. Serve with a slotted spoon. Freeze option: Freeze cooled chicken mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight.

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts in pan with broth (I have used frozen, as well as fresh- frozen adds to your cooking time).

• I have let it cook for even longer with great results.
• Let rest in pan for at least 10 minutes, or until you can shred the meat without burning yourself.
• If you are saving the chicken for later, place it in a ziplock with the excess broth from the pan.
