Once in a while I stumble across a tip or suggestion that changes my life ~ literally ~ by saving me tons of time! One of my favorites is the cake decorating “tip” video I found for color mixing and bag filling.
And now I have found another HUGE time saver, so I had to share it with you!
I have lots of recipes that call for shredded chicken. I love the recipes, not the shredding. It is time consuming, especially if you have a large bunch to feed! I found this tip from Simple Healthy Family on Pinterest.
I have to admit that I didn’t believe it would work, but oh, does it ever work well! It literally takes about 10-15 seconds to completely shred several pieces of chicken using your mixer!
Simply add hot chicken (I used 3 breasts) and use the flat beater attachment on your Kitchen Aid mixer. Mix for 10-15 seconds on a medium setting.
Viola! Shredded chicken. Gotta love it!
I just looked at the Frosting thing… I think I can fit fancy cakes into my life again. Thanks for sharing that!!!
Oh wow that is awesome thanks so much for this tip.
You’re welcome, Akhila! I hope it’s helpful to you. It has save me SO much time and effort.
Wow.. now that is an awesome tip!! Thanks!
I’m still amazed at how much people have loved this tip. 😉 Glad I decided to post it! Thanks for sharing!!
Happy Day!
It is an AWESOME tip and has saved me so much time! Thank you!! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
I tried this today with my 15 year old good ole trusty, regular hand held mixer with just 2 blades and it worked really well. We had some yummy chicken salad after lunch and I saved a ton of time not cutting the chicken!! Thank you for the tip! I just love your blog and heart! thanks for sharing with us!!
Thank you, Trina! You just made my day! 🙂 I’m SO glad you let me know about your mixer. I contemplated adding “Kitchen Aid” to the post, but I wasn’t sure if it would work with another type of mixer. I’m glad to hear that it does! Thanks for your sweet comment.
Awesome! I have to shred chicken all the time and this will be a huge time saver. (I make that Chicken Pot Pie frequently, and it is easy and delicious!) 🙂
GREAT idea!!!!!! Def. be using that one!
Love this tip. I will need to try this out!
What is hysterical is that I JUST put that hint to the test tonight!!! I, also, had seen the tip on Pinterest and hadn’t ever thought of it, and was surprised how amazingly it worked. I had just shared that tip with my husband before sitting down on my laptop and saw what you wrote here. I will never shred cjicken up by hand again. 😀 Love it when someone else is thinking like I am. 🙂
That’s so funny, Joanna! Aren’t you SO glad you tried it? I know I am! It has saved me so much time and effort. I love great tips like these. 🙂
A great time saver, thank you for sharing. I’m sharing this one.
Thanks, Donna. It is definitely a time saver! Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Omg!!!! I can’t stand shredding chicken! I am doing this tonight for dinner! Yay! Thank you so much!
