This worked great! 22 minutes was perfect for 3 chicken breasts. I did NOT pound them thinner either… just oil, S&P. Then shredded with my hand mixer – which I’ve done for years! Thanks!

Thank you for the step by step. I have always cooked it in the slow cooker but a friend asked me to roast it for more flavor so I am going to try this. Your article was the first one that showed up on my search! You’re right, so many “shredded chicken”, recipies but not many expert ways to shread. I have used the kitchen aid before with my slow cooker chicken and will try it with your roasted instructions.

I like chopped chicken better than shredded. A medium chop. It seems like you could use chopped chicken in all the shredded chicken recipes, right?

In reply to Kelly. Nope no need for foil as long as you don't have plans to cook your chicken to death. How thick are we talking? Can't you smash those suckers just a little more? They should flatten! Let me know! --Rachel

1st attempt at this. I was wondering about if you need to cover with foil, or just bake? And after tenderizing with mallet my chicken breast are still thick. Do you add a few more minutes in the baking process to compensate?
