Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot or slow cooker, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken and Seasoning

    Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into the pot. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken with the spices.

  3. 3

    Pour in Broth

    Pour the chicken broth over the chicken, ensuring it is mostly submerged.

  4. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 4-6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

  5. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine with the cooking liquid.

  6. 6

    Optional BBQ Sauce

    If desired, mix in BBQ sauce to the shredded chicken for added flavor. Serve warm.
