Shredded Chicken ideas

Heat a corn tortilla, spread two tablespoons of hummus and fill with as much shredded chicken as you like!
Either roll or fold in half and enjoy!

This has been my go-to for a quick lunch

that sounds really yummy...

I like it kind of italian style ( I sometimes cheat and use italian sausage)

red, orange, yellow peppers-
onions and mushrooms-
diced tomatoes (i get the italian style in a can)

saute until desired conisistancy and then add shredded chicken.

yum

i eat both chicken and hummus a lot but never at the same time.. dang this sounds good

lol with certain types of chicken or even meat i cant eat it without the hummus lmfao

I just made a quesadilla from shredded chicken. I got this quesadilla mix by McCormmick and added that to the chicken plus a little cheese. You can either take one tortilla and fill it half full with the mixture and bake it on 400 for 10 minutes or use one tortilla and fill it with the mixture and put another on top and bake. For one with burrito style tortillas and made with two was roughly 450 calories which may sound like a lot but if it's the only thing you eat for lunch or dinner then it is perfect! You can also add peppers, onions, corn, black beans, avocado, tomatoes, etc to the mix to add more flavor.

I actually only tried hummus a couple of weeks ago for the first time
You don't find it in stores here, so I made it at home and it's DELICIOUS!
As a chickpea lover, I don't know how I lived without it all those years LOL

I'm very very picky with veggies so I paired it with chicken to give it a go...yep, it was really yummy!

I usually throw some breasts in the crock pot with some rotel and then after 6 hours it shreds up easily and i use it for tacos or sometimes I just eat it plain...it adds a nice kick. I also used red hot wing sauce and a packet of dry ranch seasoning....all the flavor of hot wings and not near the calories

I do this then stuff the shredded chicken into some red peppers, put a little cheese on top and bake...muy yummy!

Look up Santa Fe Chicken on Skinnytaste.com. Yummy!

Add some mexican spices to it, then throw it in a tortilla with cooked spinach, and a little bit of cheese. Roll it up and bake it at 350 for 10 or 15 minutes, yummy!! I do it all the time! I also like to add some hot sauce too

One of my favorite things to do on the weekends in the fall/winter is to cook a whole chicken in the crockpot. I get the chicken when it's on sale, cook it up according to the $5 Dinner website "recipe" and then I have shredded chicken (and homemade stock) for a few meals for cheap. I almost always make a lower cal version of a chicken pot pie (what we had last night) and usually some kind of soup.

Any other suggestions for shredded chicken? I know there are a million things I can do with it and I'd love your ideas! I very easily get stuck in a food rut and need to force myself into new recipes.

I LOVE Chcken Salsa Verde!! its sooo good!! If you want the recipe, send me a note!

Bump for inspiration later

I like my shredded chicken in salads, wraps (flat out light is goood), sandwiches with low calorie bread, with brown rice and beans and salsa and maybe some peppers, with sauteed veggies, or with a bit of cheese on a whole wheat crisp bread, chicken salad is a good one too I just throw some chopped onions, salt and pepper, dijon mustard, olive oil, tomatoes, shredded carrots and shredded cucumber. You wouldn't believe how yummy this is...

add to fresh rainbow slaw (shredded broccoli, cabbage and carrots, you can get this preshredded in a package at your grocery just like shredded lettuce), some chopped green onion, light sesame ginger vinaigrette salad dressing and viola! super healthy (and super low cal) chinese chicken salad.
