Today I am going to share the recipe for baked shredded chicken. This dish can be served as an appetizer or simply enjoyed as a snack.
You could either boil the boneless chicken breast and make shredded chicken from scratch or you could simply shred some leftover rotisserie chicken if you have any lying around. Either will work well as the base for this recipe.
If you are a fan of my food blog, you probably know I like to share easy recipes that don’t compromise on taste. This recipe is a great example.
To make this baked and shredded chicken, all I did is marinating the shredded chicken with a tasty salt and pepper flavored ketchup sauce for ten minutes and bake at 375° F until they were lightly browned.
The time needed for baking is less than 20 minutes. 10 minutes on one side and another 8-10 minutes after turning. While the chicken is in the oven, I watched a couple cute corgi puppy youtube videos.
These baked shredded chicken are loaded with flavor and hard to put down. It’s also a simple and delicious way to transform the leftover rotisserie chicken and give it a flavor boost.
Below is a recap of how I made this dish with three easy steps.
