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 famousย Pinterest items that you see everywhere.ย ย 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.ย  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. ย Now, transfer the hot chicken to your mixer bowl.

Put on your flat beater attachment.

I also used myย 1-Piece Pouring Shield


Then, I flipped the switch and watched as it shredded my chicken! ย 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! ย Oh, and my hands thank Pinterest too because I won’t be hand shredding chicken anymore!

  1. 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!

  2. I have seen this on pinterest too but have still not tried it! I really must soon-thanks for reminding me!

    Best wishes,

  11. I love this trick too! I first saw it on Pinterest and tried it out. Saved me so much time shredding chicken by hand.

  12. 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 ๐Ÿ™‚
