hi I'm Lisa from modern moms today I'm going to show you how to make a basic chicken that you can use in a number of recipes it's shredded it's delicious and your kids will love it let's cook so all you need is 2 tablespoons olive oil and your boneless skinless chicken breast if they're too thick you can cut them in half it's not it'll just take you a few minutes longer to make it so what you do is pour the olive oil in the pan over just a medium to low heat you don't want to cook the chicken and you're not frying the chicken basically you're just searing it and once you put in your secret weapons the forks you'll see that this cooks in no time at all I'm going to take each chicken breast and put it in the pan what you're looking for is for the chicken to get a rain'd around the top that's white and that tells you that your chicken is ready to be turned over now what happens is once you flip it you do the same thing two minutes on each side the chicken will not be cooked through you need to do that as you shred so what you're going to do is you're going to take your two forks your fingers on the top and slowly once the chicken is part ways T its white on the other side too you're going to just shred it you can go with the grain or against the grain whatever is easier for you I sort of do both now as I said this is great for yakisoba noodles this is great for taco night this can be put in a salad there's so many things that you can do with this chicken once you have it down and it can last in the refrigerator for two to three days so whenever your kids feel like they want to have a fried rice or they want to have a chicken soup the chickens in the refrigerator it's ready to go and the best part is that it has no flavor on it so you can add your own seasoning and your own ingredients and make it whatever you want to make it once it's finished put it in the refrigerator after it's room temperature don't put in the refrigerator hot heat and ready to go and that's it thanks for watching and see you next time you
