PRINTABLE RECIPE & NUTRITION INFO: https://www.thereciperebel.com/shredded-chicken/
Ingredients
1½ cups low sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¾ teaspoon seasoning salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½-2 pounds)
Instructions
In a large skillet, whisk together broth, Italian seasoning, seasoning salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Add chicken breasts to the pan and bring to a simmer over high heat.
Reduce heat to a low simmer (don’t boil!) over low or medium-low heat and cover.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the chicken breasts reads at least 165 degrees F.
Remove chicken from the pan and shred using two forks or an electric mixer. Serve or place back into the liquid to keep warm and moist.
Store in the liquid in the refrigerator, or reserve the liquid for another use (it has great flavor!). Cooked chicken can be stored up to 4 days in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.

It turns out so perfect and it really looks delicious! I enjoyed watching and I will try to cook your recipe.
This looks so delicious
cook for how long?
Thanks for making a great short and to the point video! The video is perfection and I learned how to make shredded chicken in less than one min! 🙂
Thank you for including storing the shredded chicken information. It's really helpful as I intend to keep in freezer. 🤗
I love this! No non-sense and straight to the point. This should be standard for cooking videos. Thank you!
How to make chicken
Step 1: cook the chicken
Cook….. For… At? 😂
perfect! love the short right to the point video! I opted to cook mine in a sauce pan rather than a skillet because I was worried it would boil over or something but I can see now as its cooking on such a low simmer the skillet is perfectly fine, either way works well though, use what is most convenient. This recipe smells just like my motherers cooking when I was a child, I hope it taste equally as good! 44 year old man who just decided to start cooking about 12 months ago and really enjoying it! so much better than going out for every meal or eating pre prepared frozen meals.chicken was one thing I was a little afraid to do, I have stuck with red meat and pork until now but this seems so straight forward I am not worried . Best up will be fish!
I'm confused, so you throw it in while it's on high heat simmering, then instantly turn it down to low heat? Like how long do we let the chicken sit in high heat before turning it to low?
Can I use drumsticks instead?
Imagine THAT! A cooking video without any unnecessary chatter, exposition, or anecdotes! Thank you
I make a big batch and use it for a lot of lunch bowls throughout the week
Look so good
No measurements. No cook time or temp. Wow. Really?
I mean how many minutes would have been great to add so gonna go to a different video smh
I’ve been having a hard time eating, I’m hoping this gives me more no motivation because I love shredded meats
How long do you cook for? My phobia of salmonella makes me second guess all chicken 😂
After cooking in broth I would put it on a hot pan for a few seconds and add BBQ
How long do I cook it for.
If I chose to mealprep x amount of chicken breast, how many times could I reuse the liquid before I would need to make a new batch?
