Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Always reserve a small amount of the chicken cooking juices or fat found in the bottom of the container to add moisture to your dry shredded meat.

Tip 2 of 2

For the wraps and flatbreads, keep the chicken cold if adding to fresh greens, or sear it quickly in a hot pan for 30 seconds to wake up the flavors if serving hot.
