Easy Homemade Shredded Chicken Recipe - Perfect For Tacos, Quesadillas, Nachos & Flautas

Start by introducing the recipe and its versatility for various dishes.

Gather the ingredients: chicken breasts, yellow onion, fresh garlic, sea salt, and water.

Use a molcajete to mash garlic with a little salt, or chop it up if you don't have one.

Cook the chicken breasts in water on high heat for about 40 minutes until tender.

Check if the chicken is done by poking it with a spoon; it should break apart easily.

Remove the cooked chicken from the pot and place it in a bowl.

Use two forks to shred the chicken, holding one fork to stabilize and breaking it apart with the other.

Add some of the chicken stock back into the shredded chicken to keep it moist, along with the chopped onion and garlic for added flavor.

Mix everything together to ensure the chicken is juicy and flavorful.
