Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add chicken thighs and boil until no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 30 minutes. Strain broth into a bowl to reserve. Shred chicken thighs using 2 forks.

This is a Filipino dish that I learned from a friend of mine. Any time she had a party, she served this dish. I think it is traditional party food in the Philippines. You can change up the ingredients (meats, veggies) anyway you like.

- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make pancit, so feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors.
