Instructions
Place the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the sherry wine and basil and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the liquid is mostly cooked off.
Add the shredded chicken, toss to combine and remove from heat.
Meanwhile, bring your liquid to a boil in a medium sauce pot.
Once boiling add a generous pinch of salt and stir in the grits.
