Instructions
 

  • Place chicken breasts in a shallow pan.
  • Pour in enough water to just cover the chicken breasts.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover the pot, allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat and allow to rest for 20 minutes (or up to an hour), chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
  • Place the cooked chicken breasts into the bowl of a stand mixer with a flat beater attachment. Turn the mixer on at about a 2 speed for 30 seconds to a minute. Make sure to keep an eye on it because it shreds very quickly! Or shred the chicken on a cutting board with two forks, or with meat claws.
  • In a medium bowl, combine chicken celery, shallot, avocado, and dressing.
  • Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine.
  • Serve on toasted keto bread, in a lettuce wrap, or serve on keto crackers, parmesan crisps, or bell pepper wedges.
