  • Meat thermometer
  • 2 forks
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.
  • Place chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Place in the oven and set a timer for 25 minutes.
  • When chicken is cooked through (reaches an internal temp of 165F), remove chicken and let rest about 5 minutes. Shred with two forks. Serve as desired.

To Freeze for Later

  • You can multiply this recipe by however much you need. 1 lb of chicken makes about 2 cups of shredded chicken.
  • Shred chicken before defrosting so it defrosts faster.
