If you have a stand mixer, throw the chicken in and use the paddle attachment. Run it on low for 40-60 seconds. Any big chunks left just shred the with your fingers. That’s how we’ve done it for years. Saw it on some random YouTube channel. So much easier. Just don’t let it run too long. The chicken will basically turn to powdery bits.Tonight was my turn to cook, so I decided to make the Indian Chicken and Cilantro Stew in Milk Street's Fast and Slow (pp 152-53). A question, as experienced cooks, do y'all have any recommendations for a way to shred chicken that doesn't feel like it's punishment? It feels like penance for something I didn't realize I did -- five "Our Fathers," three "Hail Marys," and shred two pounds of chicken.
