Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 350°F (or 325°F if using convection).
  3. 2. Pulverize the dried shiitake mushrooms in a high-speed blender for 30 to 40 seconds until powdery, then let the dust settle for 2 to 3 minutes before opening.
  4. 3. Process the cooked chicken in a food processor until finely crumbled, then spread on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  5. 4. Mix the mushroom powder, onion powder, garlic granules, salt, and nutritional yeast with the chicken, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat evenly.
  6. 5. Bake on the middle rack for 10 minutes, then remove, fluff with a fork, reduce the oven to 325°F (or 300°F convection), and bake 10 minutes more.
  7. 6. Cool slightly, then blend the mixture in the food processor for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes a fine powder.
  8. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  9. 7. Let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container; refrigerate up to 1 month or freeze in portions up to 3 months.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
