A hiatus for AHOP....

On April 24 I had foot surgery, so my kitchen is temporarily closed -- at least until mid-June. No cream puffs and no dinners for a while. I took care of the troops before my surgery though...lots of cream puff deliveries direct to the stations: South, Hickory Grove, Metro and Eastway.

I'm in this ugly non-weight bearing fiberglass cast for six weeks and I'm happy to say I have almost two weeks behind me.  :o)

With all the time I have on my hands waiting for my foot to heal, I came across this ingenious way to shred hot chicken. It was truly one of those 'why didn't I think of that?' moments.

After I saw this video, I started searching YouTube and there are a lot of videos on YouTube where people used their Kitchen Aid stand mixers. I thought this method (with the hand mixer) produced longer shreds of chicken, but check out the Kitchen Aid methods on YouTube and see which method you prefer.

I hope this saves you a lot of time in the kitchen -- no more burned fingers -- and delicious chicken salad sandwiches or BBQ.

You can thank me later.  :o)
