Напрямки

Heat the olive oil and butter in a Dutch oven.

Add the chicken to the Dutch oven and cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes each.

Add the remaining ingredients up to the cheddar cheese.

Bring to a rolling boil, and boil for 3 - 4 minutes.

Reduce heat to a simmer for about 60 minutes. If you chicken is thick and doesn't shred easily, return to the pot and cook it a little longer until it pulls apart easily.

Remove chicken to a cutting board. Using two forks shred the chicken.

Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the grated cheddar cheese. Let cook on low for an additional 15-20 minutes to absorb some of the liquid.
