You could also freeze the shredded chicken to use in other recipes if you aren’t likely to use it all within 2 days.

Yum! Practical and to be used in two different ways, at least.

Killing two birds with one stone ( excuse the pun) stock & poached chicken

  Ha ha love it!

Thanks for this. I always roast chicken for sandwiches but this sound delicious.

A great recipe. I’ve often wondered how I could make chicken for lunch, like the shops do. Now I can do it myself. Thank you.

Yum! Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!!

This sounds really tasty – thank you

I’ve been doing this in my pressure cooker, usually two chickens and done in 30 mins. I then shred chicken and one chicken is used for sandwiches for the week and the other is put back in the stock for soup. I also refrigerate the stock over night and the fat literally comes straight off the top.

There is nothing nicer than homemade chicken stock! Yum!

Interesting will have to give this a try. Great that you have a nice stock left after cooking and a lot healthier. thanks muchly.

Thanks Joanna! Healthy & easy & leads to a multitude of uses.

thanks for sharing this yummy recipe

what a brilliant idea for lunch boxes

It is interesting to boil something and then use it on a sandwich

Thanks for posting this. So much healthier than processed meat. This is the way it should be prepared but yet so many people forget or don’t know how.

Sounds so easy!

What a great idea I had always wondered how to make this now I know 🙂

Thanks I have always wondered how to do this.
