Chicken is back and in this form extremely versatile!
What You'll Need:
- Chicken breasts (I used four)
- A large, heavy-bottomed pot
- Enough water to cover
- Stable cutting board and two forks
What You'll Do:
- Bring your water to a rapid boil
- Add in your chicken breasts
- Reduce your heat to a steady medium temperature - you do not want the water to boil again
- Cook for 25-35 minutes (depending on the thickness of your cut)
- Pull one cut out of the water and cut open to check if it is cooked through - there should be no pink. Even though pink is a charming colour, it is not something you want your chicken to be
- Pull out your chicken cuts, piece by piece and let rest on your cutting board for about 5 minutes
- Using two forks, pull apart with the grain of the meat, creating small strands of chicken
Be creative!
Tonight I combined mine with my Tangy BBQ Sauce to create a deliciously easy Pulled Chicken Pita dish that my husband called a 'Ten out of Ten'.
Tomorrow I plan on using the remainder to make chicken fajitas out of.
Some more ideas are:
- Use it in casseroles
- Add it to a creamy macaroni and cheese recipe
- Toss it in salads
- Use it on pizzas
The STEWART SCORE:
Appearance: 1 (its pulled meat...how pretty can it get)
Taste: 2
Ease: 2
