Today I want to show you how to make this easy and delicious Venezuelan-style shredded chicken recipe that can get us out of trouble.

Its versatility makes it compatible with breakfasts, lunches and dinners, since it serves as a base to prepare multiple dishes. In my country we use it mainly as a filling for arepas and empanadas, but it can also be used to prepare sandwiches, lasagna, cannelloni, cakes or simply with rice or pasta as a side dish.

In addition, if we prepare it in advance, we can keep it refrigerated for several days, which makes it ideal for those moments when we do not have enough time to spend long and hard in the kitchen.

Hoy quiero enseñarles cómo hacer esta fácil y deliciosa receta de pollo desmechado al estilo venezolano que puede sacarnos de apuros.

Su versatilidad hace que sea compatible con desayunos, almuerzos y cenas, ya que nos sirve como base para preparar múltiples platos. En mi país la usamos principalmente como relleno de arepas y empanadas, pero también nos sirve para preparar sándwiches, lasañas, canelones, pasteles o simplemente con arroz o pasta como acompañante.

Además, si la preparamos con antelación, podemos mantenerla refrigerada durante varios días, lo cual la hace ideal para aquellos momentos donde no contamos con el tiempo suficiente para dedicarnos largo y tendido a la cocina.
