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.

I'm not a fan of ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken was still delicious.

The chicken was a little dry for my taste, but the broth was amazing. I would definitely make this again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
