3. Put the chicken pieces in a pot with water, onion, garlic, the concentrated broth and bring to a boil.
4. Drain the thighs, let it cool a bit and shred the chicken, separating the meat from the bone. Leave it as thin as possible and reserve.
5. You can keep the remaining broth for other preparations such as curry chicken rice.
