🥘 Ingredients

Check off ingredients as you prepare them:

Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205ºC).

Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of an enameled Dutch oven and season to taste.

Pour in the chicken broth (or water + salt and seasoning*) and place the lid on the pot.

Place in the oven and bake for ⏱️ 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF (75ºC) at the thickest parts.

Remove the chicken breasts using a pair of tongs and place them on a plate.

Once they are cool enough to work with, shred the chicken with two forks.

If needed, add some of the broth to moisten the shredded chicken.

Use your shredded chicken in your favorite recipes, or cool and store it for later use.
