How Do You Make Old-Fashioned Shredded Chicken Sandwiches?
There are few more soothing comfort foods than old-fashioned shredded chicken sandwiches. This type of sandwich consists of shredded chicken cooked in a creamy sauce and served on a toasted bun. Perhaps the best part is that these sandwiches are almost as easy to make as they are to eat. Place the chicken in a large pot and cover it with water. Add salt and pepper. Boil the chicken until it falls apart. This should take an hour or more. You can flavor the water by adding a few celery stalks or some sliced carrots or onions.
