I looked and didn't see this on here, so apologize if it's a repeat.
If you have a lot of boneless chicken breast to shred, and a stand mixer, this is fast and works great. I'm pretty sure it was in a comment on the SkinnyTaste site.
Just throw your cooked chicken into the bowl of your mixer and mix with the paddle attachment on medium, and watch it. It only takes a few seconds, and then it's perfectly shredded for soup or tacos.

    Does the chicken have to be hot?

    Thanks!

    Wow, sorry. I'm not very good at this (didn't know how to tell anyone responded)! I put it in hot-ish, but cold probably works too (good for chicken salad!). Forks are great, but if you have a lot (like I did to make a pan of green chile enchiladas) this only takes a few seconds, and we can use a few extra minutes in our days! :smile:
