Salt and pepper both sides of your chicken breasts and heat your skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly grease with cooking spray or a drizzle of oil. Place chicken breasts in the pan and cook until the first side is nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken breasts and brown second side, 2 to 3 minutes.

What Temperature Do You Cook the Chicken To?

The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165° Fahrenheit (75° Celsius).

How Do You Shred the Chicken?

After the chicken is cooled for a few minutes I like to use two forks and pull the chicken apart until it is a shred-like look. If you are wanting to speed the process, using a hand mixer or blender does work; however you will want to make sure you don’t over shred the meat.
