Cook the chicken breast until fully done
Let it rest for a few minutes
Use two forks to pull the chicken apart
Hold the chicken steady with one fork and shred with the other
Shred along the grain for finer pieces
Use a stand mixer on low speed for faster shredding
Use a hand mixer in a large bowl for quick shredding
Use your fingers only after the chicken has cooled enough to handle
Remove any skin, bones, or gristle while shredding
Use immediately or store in an airtight container
