If you were going to make shredded chicken for tacos, how would you make it?
I would boil it as if I was making stock. then I would have yummy stock to freeze and tender chicken for the tacos.

poach in water and/ or stock/ broth, salt and pepper. Takes less than 20 minutes. Shred (you can put it in a stand mixer to shred it- easy!).

I think the easiest way would be to boil or crockpot. I roast 3 whole chickens at a time - one to eat regular that to get 5-6 freezer meals out of.

I "make" salsa chicken in the crockpot when I'm really in a pinch. Any kind of chicken. Tenderloin, breast, thigh. Fresh or frozen. Pour a jar of your favorite salsa over the chicken. Cook on low. Shred chicken. You can put a can of black beans in there also.

This is our favorite http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2010/05/sweet-and-spicy-slow-cooker-chicken-2.html
I bake in the oven in a pyrex dish, covered with water. Cool and shred.

The last time I made pulled chicken I poached it and wished I had used the crockpot so that's what I would do.

We had chicken tostadas for dinner tonight---same as tacos, only the tortilla was flat. I put the chicken in the crockpot. I seasoned the chicken with whatever looked good in my cupboard--seasoned salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili powder. I really should have put cumin too. And then I had some (green) salsa in the fridge and I put 3 big tablespoons of that on top. It was good. We all ate it up! :)

This is what I do too. Easy!

I either boil it if it's a last minute decision or in the crock pot if I'm organized and know what I'm making in the morning.
