To make shredded chicken you can use the stovetop, slow cooker, or Instant Pot. If you don't want to make it yourself, you can buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the white meat.
Stovetop method: Boil a pot of water, add chicken breasts, and reduce to simmer. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the water and shred with two forks.
Slow Cooker: Add chicken breasts to a slow cooker, add 1 cup of water, and cook for 4 hours on low. Once the time is up, take the chicken out and shred with two forks.
Instant Pot: Add chicken breasts to your Instant Pot with 1 cup of water, use the manual setting and set it for 12 minutes. Once the chicken is done, release the pressure and shred with two forks.
