This shredded chicken freezes and reheats well. I often use it for tacos, burritos, quesadillas or enchiladas, and it works beautifully in taco-style salads. A jar of salsa forms the base—choose mild, medium, chipotle or a homemade salsa depending on how much heat and flavor you want. You can also serve the chicken with black beans, rice, corn or a fresh salad for a quick, complete meal.
