      The shredded chicken recipe makes enough for 2 batches. However, all other recipes/ingredients need to be doubled for a second batch. So if you double all the other ingredients besides the chicken this will make 24.

    Could I make this with chicken thighs instead? Would it be the same amount of cooking time?

      Boneless thighs should work. The cooking time may change a bit since thighs are usually a bit smaller than breasts.
