Pulled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken broth to the skillet, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Make the Garlic & Herb Mayo

    In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the herbs of your choice. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Pulled Chicken

    On a lettuce leaf, place a generous amount of pulled chicken, top with roasted red peppers, and drizzle with the garlic & herb mayo.
