Step 1

1. Shred the chicken Since you're already boiling it, take the chicken out once it's fully cooked and let it cool enough to handle. Remove the skin if you don't want it, then pull the meat apart with two forks into small, thin pieces. 2. Make the lemon-garlic mixture In a small bowl, mix: minced garlic paprika chili flakes black pepper salt juice from about ¼ lemon Don't add all the lemon yet—we'll use some at the end too. 3. Get your pan HOT 🔥 Put a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp olive oil. Once hot, add your shredded chicken. 4. Get the chicken crispy Spread it across the pan rather than constantly stirring. Let it cook for 2 minutes without moving it. Then toss/stir it and cook another 2–3 minutes. You want some little golden/crispy edges. 🤌 5. Add the garlic & spices Turn the heat down to medium. Add your garlic-spice-lemon mixture. Stir continuously for about 30–60 seconds so the garlic becomes fragrant without burning. If it looks dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of the chicken cooking water. 6. THE LEMON FINISH 🍋 Turn off the heat. Squeeze the remaining lemon over the chicken.
