1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a disposable plastic bag. Pound them to a mostly even thickness using a meat mallet (smooth side), rolling pin, or empty wine bottle.
2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet (with a lid) over medium heat.
4
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook until browned, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
5
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until browned.
6
Pour the chicken broth into the pan, cover, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the breasts reads 165°F.
7
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken cool for 5 minutes.
8
Transfer the chicken breasts to a stand mixer.
9
Using the paddle attachment, set the mixer to low, working up to medium, and process the chicken until mostly shredded.
10
Be careful not to over-process. Manually pull apart any remaining larger pieces.
11
Your tender, succulent shredded chicken is now ready to be used in any recipe you wish.
