When dehydrating chicken, use pre-cooked, pre-sliced chicken breast, either sliced fresh at the Deli counter, or meats sold in tubs!
I decided to use my favorite sandwich meat in a tub: (yeah, I sometimes don't have time to stand in line at the deli!) Shown on the dehydrator trays below, are slices of pre-cooked Sliced Chicken Breast by Hillshire Farms.
The package filled four of my Nesco Dehydrator trays, with five slices on each tray, and it only took TWO hours to become fully dehydrated!
If you wish to use cooked meats left over from your Sunday Roast Chicken dinner, make sure you evenly slice the pieces and make them of a uniform size; that way they will dehydrate uniformly - i.e. at the same rate of time.
Don't forget to turn the heat UP to 160°F -- never dehydrate meat
on a lower setting, that's not safe (germ-wise).
Dehydrated Chicken is
Extremely E-A-S-Y to do!
Here's some photos of the sliced chicken on the dehydrator 'before' and 'after' dehydrating.

Ideal Temperature To Use for Dehydrating Cooked Chicken:
Pre-cooked chicken is best dehydrated at 160°F as mentioned above - but please consult your food dehydrator's owners manual for their specific instructions.

As you can see in the photo above, just look how crispy the chicken was after dehydrating! I then purposely draped a slice of the re-hydrated chicken around my finger so you could see that it was indeed moist again.
I also decided to make a small amount of chicken stock (from my favorite Better Than Bouillon by Superior Touch) and wow, what a difference that made to the re-hydrated chicken! Make a note of this! :-)
IMPORTANT: Re-hydrate in the refrigerator in CLEAN water or the stock. Don't leave it out on the counter top! Don't let the chicken go 'off'!
Re-hydrate in Chicken Stock for Added Taste!

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for this wonderful site. I
bought a dehydrator about 5 months ago and it's been such a blessing. It
wasn't easy finding a comprehensive site to learn the ins and outs of
preserving food this way. Thank you for the time it took to put this
website together. Also thank you for informing people about the
need to prepare in a caring way,
one that doesn't scare
people off :-)"
