Instructions

1. Step 1

Step 1
Cut the chicken breast open. I used the thickest part on top (this part has the longest fibers and is easiest to shred after cooking), and then cut it in half horizontally (thinner slices cook more easily).

2. Step 2

Step 2
Cook the chicken breast and egg in cold water until they are done. A tip for cooking eggs: letting them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking can help prevent them from cracking. Use a small pot, add water to cover the eggs, and add a little salt and vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn off the heat. Cover the pot and let it sit for 6-7 minutes for half-cooked eggs (runny yolk), or 10 minutes for fully cooked eggs. However, the cooking time also depends on the size of the eggs. I used large eggs.

3. Step 3

Step 3

Step 4
