CAN YOU SHRED CHICKEN WITH A HAND BLENDER?
Yes. In my experience, it will take a little longer & make a larger mess but is still quicker than shredding by hand.
PRO TIP: If using a hand blender, shred 1 chicken breast at a time to minimize the mess and maximize the shredding.
CAN I SHRED CHICKEN IN A FOOD PROCESSOR?
Yes, you can. The technique and blade are important when using a food processor. Otherwise, you will end up with crumbled or pureed chicken.
You will want to use the “slicer blade” that came with your food processor.
PRO TIP: Instead of pushing the chicken onto the blade, pulse your processor and let the chicken shred through the blade with gravity. If you push, the chicken will end up sliced – not shredded.
Now, I know you might not have believed me at first…but I hope you are happy that you tried shredding chicken in your KitchenAid. It truly is a game-changer!
The best part about shredding chicken in a Kitchenaid is being able to use it immediately or freeze for later. If freezing, simply store in a freezer storage container & save for 2 to 6 months. Want to learn the guidelines for storing food? Click HERE.
