My husband went off the deep end this morning.... I have been ill for two days since getting a covid vaccine( I always do, nothing new). He has ALWAYS taken on the responsibility of feeding our two westies. One of them is have dental surgery tomorrow and has had chopped up cooked chicken for several days. Well this morning he got upset over all the time it takes to chop up( not shred) the cooked chicken breasts for my male westie!! Of course with me not feeling well, words were exchanged. Do any of you well established experienced cooks can pass on any suggestions on how to CHOP up the cooked chicken without it being so time consuming? Ground chicken is not an option. Thank you all for your suggestive comments!! MJ

@MILKI.  While the meat is warm and soft, hit it with your electric mixer.  Your meat will be shredded fast.

@MILKI  Have you tried a Pull-n-Chop? I've never actually tried it, but it's worked for so many other things for me - like cauliflower rice. You have complete control over the size of the chop. Of course, you would have to do it in smaller quantities - say maybe a half cup at a time. And, I think it would be better using cold chicken.

I use a pull chopper.  Nothing could be easier for chopping chicken and a variety of other foods. I use mine all the time.

Do you have a Ninja Storm?  It'll chop it to our liking in seconds!

Also, maybe a blender might work...

Hope you and your better half are feeling better.  Take good care of those Westies!

I'm sorry but it doesn't take THAT much time to chop chicken by hand -- especially for a small dog that probably doesn't even eat that much.

Cook multiple chicken breasts, process in a food processer, divide for into individual meals and freezer for later use.

I use kitchen shears to chop chicken into small bites.  So much easier than a knife and it chops it "cleaner" - no shreds.   I often chop up a lot at one time and freeze it.

Hope you're feeling better soon and good luck to your Westie tomorrow.

When our Puggle was elderly and ill, I used Swanson chix in a can (it's a large tuna size can)

No cooking, no chopping.  Just drain and use a fork.

I mixed it into her rice etc.

QVC has a meat shredder from Prepology, I use it for shredding pork for barbecue. I'm sure you can search it "Meat Shredder".
