1
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Set aside.
2
Season the Chicken
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin on both sides.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
4
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Cook the Chicken
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Pour the chicken broth over the chicken. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
6
Shred the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
7
Combine
Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, mixing it with the remaining broth and sautéed onions and garlic. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
