Bryan's Shredded Chicken

 Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast diced into 3-inch strips Salt & pepper

2 cups thinly sliced onions 1 tablespoon minced garlic 2 cups chicken stock

Instructions

1. Set a wide-mouthed 3-quart saucepan with lid over medium-high heat and add the oil to the pan. Season the chicken pieces with salt & pepper. 

2. Add the chicken to the pan and sear for 3 minutes per side. Add the onions to the pan and saute for another 3 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute for 1 minute. Pour the chicken stock over the chicken and bring to a boil. 

3. Reduce to a low heat and cover. Continue to cook the chicken until very tender, about 1 hour.  Stir the chicken to shred it and continue to cook, covered, for another 30 minutes. Once the chicken is cooked, stir and mash to shred the chicken meat.

What’s it for?

This chicken is good with all kinds of stuff!  Use it to put on top of nachos, in taquitos or tacos, or to make a really yummy BBQ chicken pizza (see recipe), pulled pork sandwiches (except it’s chicken… just add barbecue sauce!).  Keep it in a tupperware in the fridge for up to a week, and use it on anything you want!
