Step 1
Fill a large pot with water. Add the chicken tenderloins with the water and then bring the water to a boil.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overcook the tenderloins or it will become rubbery. The chicken should register at 165 degrees with a meat thermometer (or you'll be able to tell if it's done when you shred it).
Step 3
Once the chicken is ready, remove it from the water and let it cool. Use a hand mixer or food processor to shred the chicken into fine pieces. I find using a hand mixer helps the chicken to become very fine, just like the restaurant version.
Step 4
Next, run your jalapeños through a food processor or finely dice them.
Step 5
Add the mayonnaise, jalapeños, and seasonings to the shredded chicken. Stir well and then serve. Add additional minced jalapeños, if needed.
Step 6
Refrigerate any leftovers.
