Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
If the chicken is falling-apart tender, you can use Grandma's method for easily shredding it: While holding the chicken breast with a fork, use the tip of a spoon to press down on the meat with a chopping motion and pull the shred away from the rest of the meat. This method is quick because you don't have to stop to remove meat shreds, as you do if you use a fork.
