    How To Shred Chicken

    Make a big batch of cooked chicken and shred it using one of these three chicken shredding methods. I find that cooked chicken breast is the easiest to shred but boneless skinless chicken thighs will have the most flavor.

    • Two Fork Method: Place chicken on a cutting board, and use two forks to pull at the meat in opposite directions going against the grain of the meat.
    • Mixer: Place chicken in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or use a hand mixer with the beaters in place. Turn the mixer to a low speed and gradually increase the mixer speed as the chicken shreds.
    • Blender or Food Processor: Place leftover chicken in the blender or a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse it at a low speed. Pulse until your desired texture of the shredded chicken is reached.
