What is Shredded chicken with sauce?
Shredded chicken with sauce is made by pulling cooked chicken into fine strands and coating it in a sauce. It is a flexible preparation rather than a dish tied to one particular place: the sauce may be mild and creamy, tomato-based, or richly spiced, depending on the recipe.
The tender strands soak up the sauce, making the chicken easy to serve over rice, tucked into bread or wraps, or spooned onto a salad. It works as a quick main meal and can also be used as a filling for sandwiches. Chicken gives the dish a protein-rich base, with 20.5 g of protein per 100 g; the sauce affects its overall richness. For a lighter plate, use less sauce and add vegetables.
