First things first:
Grab a large stock pot
Put whole chicken (I use a whole, pre cut up chicken usually) in
And cover with water (Usually takes about 4-5 cups)
Bring to a boil and simmer about 40 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken from pot, reserve broth aside. (About 4 cups)
Shred chicken. Set aside.
Shortcut:
Shred precooked rotisserie chicken
Grab 4 cups chicken broth
