Shredded chicken for tacos
I have been tasked with making 3 lbs of shredded chicken for a "walking taco bar" at work next week. I have no idea where to start.
Does anyone have a good recipe they can recommend? Is this the kind of thing I need a recipe for, or do I just poach and shred chicken breasts? Seasoning suggestions? How far ahead can I make it? How do I warm it up at work and keep it warm? Crock pot?
Help! I'm "the boss" of this group and don't want my contribution to be the laughingstock (or to get anyone sick).
Thanks advance!
