My New Fave Way to Make Chicken

Minimal dishes required

Last week I shredded chicken with my KitchenAid for the first time and I don’t think I’ll ever go back. It was easy and hands-free, and I only had to wash the bowl and paddle when it was done.

I served the chicken in a wrap with slaw, but this method opens up so many opportunities. I poached the chicken in a flavor-packed liquid, transferred it to the mixer to shred, and cooked down the remaining liquid to make a sauce that kept it juicy. Watch me get perfectly shredded chicken in 42 seconds:

Now’s the perfect time to share the recipe because it makes Taco Salad Nachos even more delicious for your Super Bowl party. Today’s meals are great for the party, but I’d make them any day for a fun weeknight dinner.

Here’s what’s on the menu:

• Taco Salad Nachos with Shredded Chicken

• Crunchy Ranch Salad with Chicken Wings

• Burger Salad

Taco Salad Nachos with Shredded Chicken

so perfect, so beautiful

These nachos hit every note for watch parties. It’s the perfect combo of snacky and satisfying, with lots of flavorful veggies on top. The new addition that I’m so excited about is the shredded chicken. It’s so easy to make and shreds perfectly in a stand mixer.
