Shredded Chicken

Shredded Chicken

We are selling Matzo Ball "Chicken" Soup at work right now, and it tasted so delicious, I decided to hunt up a shredded chicken recipe to make at home so I could make some vegan chicken soup for here. I made this recipe for the second time today, and it seems the first-time delicousness was not a fluke, so I'm posting it here for easy reference in the future. The full recipe is from here.

Looks like chicken. Tastes like chicken.

I've only made it with tofu, so will need to try it with the beans sometime. Additionally, I make it in the Instant Pot for an even easier cooking experience.

Shredded chicken:

Definitely best to use a food processor, not a blender. I leave it in the food processor until fully kneaded. No hand kneading needed.

After creating the knot of dough, I plop it in the IP, which has been bubbling on "saute" with 5-6 cups of veggie broth. The dough knot goes directly into the liquid. Manual for 20 minutes, then a full natural release. Easy, peasy, chicken squeezy.

Tears like chicken.

Worked great in chicken soup, delightful as a BBQ chicken sandwich. Yessa and I are trying to dream up a way to use it to replicate our chicken pecan casserole that we still miss eating.

Tastes scrumptious on a gray, rainy day.
