Any tips to make nice pulled chicken?

Have chicken breasts in fridge and want to make pulled chicken burritos for tea.

No idea how though. Also have a spice mix I want to add to the chicken.

TIA

If you have a slow cooker, bung the chicken, spices and a bit of water in and cook for about 5 hours.

Agree with the slow cooker.

I don't. I hate the things. Had a few over the years and never liked anything that came out of one so gave them away 😑

Poach the chicken breasts on the hob, Chuck in a packet of fajita seasoning, simmer for 30 mins or until cooked

I honestly wouldn't use breasts for pulled chicken, I'd use thighs.
You need meat that can take longer cooking if you want to pull it.

Poaching would be the best, but tbh chicken breasts aren't ideal for pulled meat - you need a fattier, less dry bit like thighs.

Shame! Pulled meat is what I use mine most for now tbh. It even lest you get away with using less than ideal meat like chicken breast as the steam stops then drying out too much

Microwave until cooked- shred. Then on hob with chopped tomatoes and spice on low.
