Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Arrange chicken breasts in a baking dish.

Bake chicken breasts in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Shred chicken breasts with two forks to desired texture.
