Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken (thighs, legs, or breast)

- Shred chicken, chop carrots and shallot or onions into tiny cubes.
- Combine and blend chicken, onion or shallot, carrots, sweet relish, salt and ground pepper.

Notes
- Don't throw away the water you boiled the ingredients in because you can use it to make other Filipino dishes like tinolang manok or arroz caldo, which are soup dishes.
