Notes
After chicken is cooked you can slice it, dice it or you can shred it, whichever you prefer.
Marinade your chicken for at 30 - 60 minutes but no longer than 4-6 hours. But even if you only have 15-20 minutes, it will still be delicious!
I like to pound my chicken breasts into an even layer so that they cook quicker and more evenly. Place the chicken between two layers of wax paper or parchment paper and pound with a meat mallet.
If you prefer, you can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs in place of chicken breasts.
