💭 Tips

- Shred the chicken while it’s nice and warm. Hot meat shreads much more easily than cool meat.
- When mixing in your noodles, be gentle and use a folding motion to keep them intact.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Al dented is a term used for noodles that are cooked until firm, yet tender. They should be cooked through but still firm.
You can use pecorino, percorino romano, and parmiggiano reggiano in place of parmesan.
Hot or warm chicken simply shreds better. When the meat is cool, it tends to be very difficult to shred, however, when it’s hot or warm, it pulls apart easily.
