1
Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
2
Season the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, seasoning with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
3
Cook the Chicken
Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken, making sure it's well coated. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
4
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, then return it to the skillet and mix with the sauce.
5
Serve
Serve the pulled chicken on buns, over rice, or as desired, garnished with additional BBQ sauce if desired.
