If you wish you can make your own shredded chicken by Poaching chicken breasts Then use two forks to pull it apart and make your own shredded chicken.

Spread thickly on a slice of bread, and top with a second slice of bread.

Notes

I make the chicken sandwich filling straight into a container with a lid, so that I can easily store it in the refrigerator for making more sandwiches over the next few days
Season: don't forget to season to taste once you have made the filling.
Be sure to try the other additions I suggested.... avocado and Dijon mustard to make these sandwiches a bit more special.
Cottage cheese: can be substituted for ricotta cheese, store-bought cottage cheese with chives is also lovely in this recipe.
Mayonnaise: Choose your favourite, it's also lovely with aioli if you like garlic!
Salt and Pepper: Don't forget to season the shredded chicken sandwich filling to your liking once you have made it.
Shredded Chicken: Make your own from poached chicken breast or use store-bought
Dijon mustard: A teaspoon of mustard adds a nice kick (that I love but my son doesn't)
Avocado: If I'm making this shredded chicken salad mix to eat straight away, I also like to add half a mashed avocado, for extra creaminess and lovely healthy fats. (But if I'm making the mix in advance for sandwiches over the week I don't add the avocado as it goes brown. )
Bread: Use your favourite bread, bun, wrap or even try the filling in a lettuce cup.
