📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and place the chicken in the skillet. Season the top of the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook for ⏱️ 5 minutes until browned. Flip the chicken over, season the other side with salt and pepper and cook for 4 – 5 more minutes until browned on both side.

2
Add the chicken broth, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for ⏱️ 7-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 165°F. This time will vary depending on the thickness and size of the chicken breasts.
3
Remove the chicken from the pan to shred. You can use two forks to shred the chicken on a plate or place the chicken in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Lock the mixer head and start on low speed, increasing to medium-low. The chicken will shred in under ⏱️ 20 seconds. The longer you mix, the smaller the chicken shreds will be. Alternately you can use an electric hand mixer for this step as well. Just shred on low speed.
4
Add a little juice from the pan back into the chicken to add moisture and flavor.
5
Use the shredded chicken as needed, or store for later use.
