My daughter sent me this recipe after she’d made it and watched her family devour them. It’s always so nice to find a new recipe that your kids will eat because let’s face...some kids are just picky eaters. But I can see why they loved them so much. Super good and even leftover they’re great after they are heated in the oven for a little while. We’ll be making these again!

Oil for frying
3 chicken breasts ~ cooked and shredded
