Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the boneless skinless chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken breasts.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  3. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 6

    Combine with BBQ Sauce

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing well to ensure all the chicken is coated.
