Notes
When cooking chicken breast, the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can measure this with an instant-read thermometer to ensure it's safe to consume.
There are many ways you can shred chicken. Use a food processor, electric hand mixer, or even your hands if the chicken is cool enough.
For extra flavor, try basting the chicken with BBQ sauce while it bakes.
This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd. Just cook two pans of chicken at once and double the amount of BBQ sauce.
