How to Boil and Shred Chicken

Hi Guys, today I’ll show you How to Boil and Shred Chicken easily.RECIPE: anitacooks.com/how-to-boil-and-shred-chicken/ I’m using 6 chicken thighs with the bone in. I’ve removed the skin. Add 1 large yellow onion peeled and cut into 4, 5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed. ½ tsp ground black pepper, cilantro stems from a bunch of cilantro. The stems have a lot of flavor and they are usually not used when serving so this is a perfect time to use them, a tsp of coarse salt. Cover the chicken with water, about an inch above the chicken. Put a lid on and bring this to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn the heat down and simmer for 45 minutes partially covered. During cooking, skim off any foam on top and discard. The chicken is cooked and it comes apart nicely. Remove the chicken pieces from the liquid and set aside. Drain the liquid and you have a flavorful broth. Let this cool and refrigerate it. There will be a very thin layer of fat on top that you can easily remove with a spoon. You can use this broth to make rice, soups, stews, anything that calls for broth. From the one pot, you get two things, shredded chicken and broth. Two forks work well to shred the chicken. I use this chicken in sandwiches, wraps, salads, meat pies, really any recipe that uses cooked chicken. The broth came in really handy because I caught a cold as you can hear from my voice. I put some frozen dumplings in the broth, cooked it for a few minutes and had satisfying soup. Freeze the broth so you can pull it out when you’re sick and have no energy to cook. You saw how simple it is to make flavorful, shredded chicken. Give this a try and let me know how you like it. Subscribe and I’ll see you next time. Thanks for watching :)
