Just thought I'd share cause I have never done it this way and I thought some could find it helpful! I'll use this method as well from now on, much easier!

1. Fill a large pot about two-thirds of the way with water and bring to a boil on the stove.

2. Add raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast and boil until cooked through, about 10 minutes.

3. Drain water and transfer chicken to a bowl. Once cool enough to handle, shred using two forks -- one to hold the chicken in place and the other to scrape across the meat and shred it.

    Useful tip but could this be done with low sodium chicken broth to add flavor? I know it would probably add a few calories.
