Notes
1. This recipe is written using two cooked chicken breasts from a soup. However if you are using raw chicken breasts, just throw them in at the very beginning with the broth and let them cook. Then remove them and shred them.
2. The great part about this recipe is that it is a chop and drop. You can do everything as the soup simmers away.
3. One of the shortcuts to shredding chicken is to use the paddle attachment in your Kitchen Aid mixer or any other stand up mixer.
