Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 –Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 3 –In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the chicken and enough of the water to just cover it and boil until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Step 4 –Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and use two forks to shred them into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the chicken broth in the pot.
