Pinterest Projects: Chickening Out
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.
Ok, so today I am going to talk about one of those famous Pinterest items that you see everywhere.  I’m talking about shredding chicken in your KitchenAid Mixer.
We use a lot of shredded chicken so I was hoping this really was as easy as it looked/sounded. I’ve seen it re-pinned so much that I figured I should finally give it a try.
The first step is an obvious one: buy some chicken breast and cook it.
I did mine in the crockpot which is why you see the chicken stuff in the broth. Â Now, transfer the hot chicken to your mixer bowl.
Put on your flat beater attachment
.
I also used my 1-Piece Pouring Shield
Then, I flipped the switch and watched as it shredded my chicken! Â I did about 3-4 of the breasts at a time and had all 8 of the chicken breasts done in less than 5 minutes!
This is such a time saver! Â Oh, and my hands thank Pinterest too because I won’t be hand shredding chicken anymore!
Oh my gosh….this is so genius!! I am never shredding by hand again!
Very cool! What a time saver!
Reason #657 I need a Kitchen Aid mixer. 🙂
This is AWESOME…sure beats using 2 forks where you get bored and end up having chunks along with your shredded chicken. I’ll have to try this!
I love it! What a fantastic idea!
That’s a great tip. TFS!
I had no idea a mixer could do such a thing! I don’t have one, but this is good to know!
I have seen this on pinterest too but have still not tried it! I really must soon-thanks for reminding me!
Best wishes,

Who knew!!?? This is fantastic…what a time and hand saver! Thank you for sharing at Uncommon! Bonnie 😉
I love this trick too! I first saw it on Pinterest and tried it out. Saved me so much time shredding chicken by hand.
My stand mixer thanks you … he was feeling lonely since I don’t bake much these days. I also bet this would work for shredding pork for a BBQ too. Thanks! Oh, and I pinned this to remind myself of this new trick 🙂

Excellent. I was unaware of this possibility the Kitchen-Aid. I’ll use. thanks for the tip. Kiss.
Oh, shredding meat with the Kitchenaid is one of my favorite tricks. Definitely try it!
Thanks for sharing! FYI, I only have a bosch, but it worked (amazingly) using the cookie paddles!
