I dunno about you guys, but I’m always looking for easier ways to do things in the kitchen. I HATED shredding chicken; my hands hurt every time I shredded with forks, and it took forever! Then I read somewhere that you can shred your chicken in the KitchenAid mixer, and my life changed! In 30 seconds, you can have amazing, perfectly shredded chicken!
The first thing you do is place your hot, cooked chicken in the mixing bowl. I always cook my chicken breasts in the slow cooker; I’m all about easy! Attach the paddle attachment and turn the mixer on the lowest setting.
Look at it go! The chicken seems to mix best when it’s hot. Shred for 30 seconds, and…
There it is! Perfectly shredded chicken to add to burritos, salad, sandwiches… anything you can think of! You can also shred cooked pork in the KitchenAid for your pulled pork.
Do you have any fun ways to use your KitchenAid mixer? Share in the comments below!
