Use the flavorful shredded chicken in soups, sandwiches and salads. You can freeze the chicken stock in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw it to use in anything from flavored soup bases to fragrant noodle dishes. It's also perfect for poaching chicken breasts in for extra-tasty salads, sandwiches and rolls.
