Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Brown the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until they are lightly browned.

  2. 4

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  3. 5

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 6

    Combine with BBQ Sauce

    Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and pour in the BBQ sauce. Stir until the chicken is well coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the pulled chicken on buns, in tacos, or with sides of your choice. Enjoy!
