Notes

Tip: Using leftover chicken makes for a quick & easy lunch. A single boneless skinless chicken breast typically yields 1 to 2 cups of shredded chicken depending on size of the chicken breast.
Variation: Use the chicken mixture over mixed greens or inside a flour tortilla for a different spin.
