A Shredding Shortcut

Make these high-protein chicken wraps with me. If you meal prep chicken, this is seriously one of the easiest ways to shred it and use it in so many different dishes. I start by cooking my chicken until it’s completely cooked through. Instead of standing there shredding every piece with two forks, I use my KitchenAid mixer.

Just place the cooked chicken in a large bowl while it’s still warm, grab your mixer, and start on a low speed.

It takes literally seconds to turn chicken into perfectly shredded pieces. And this is one of my favorite meal prep shortcuts because now I have a protein ready to use throughout the entire week.

Easy Chicken Wraps

For this recipe, I’m using it for chicken wraps. It makes lunches so easy. Just grab the wraps, throw them in the microwave or eat them cold, and add some veggies or a side salad on the side to make it a complete meal.

Leftover Chicken Ideas

Use the leftover chicken for:

  • fajitas
  • to throw in salads
  • rice bowls
  • quesadillas

Meal prep does not have to mean spending your entire Sunday in the kitchen. Save this one for your next meal prep day.
