I need these easy meals!Shredding the Chicken
Once the chili is done cooking, you will need to pull out the chicken and shred it. To be honest, this was my least favorite part of making this chicken chili recipe. Between the fact that the chicken is super hot, and it took a while to get the consistency I wanted, I never looked forward to shredding the chicken.
That was until I came across Ambitious Kitchen’s post on easy ways to shred chicken. It has such great information, and saved me so much time. If you have a chance take a look.
