Ingredients
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Directions
  1. Place chicken breasts in a large, shallow pot, and season with salt and pepper. Fill the pot with water until the chicken is just covered.
  2. Heat pot over medium-high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 8 to 12 minutes. After 8 minutes is up, check each chicken breast with an instant thermometer to check for doneness. When the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F, it is done.
  3. When the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and transfer to a cutting board or shallow bowl. Cool, then shred using forks, your hands, or a stand mixer.
  4. When the chicken is shredded, return to a bowl, and add in garlic powder and paprika. Stir well, and use chicken in soup, tacos, or sandwiches.
