Notes

For juicier results, consider using chicken thighs instead of breasts. Don’t skip the chicken broth; it helps prevent sticking. Shred the chicken immediately after cooking for the best texture. You can make leftovers into a hearty curry or use them in salads and wraps. For a keto version, skip tortillas and use lettuce wraps or cauliflower rice.
