Pulled Barbecue Chicken Ingredients

Method

Pulled Barbecue Chicken Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces.

  4. 4

    Combine with Barbecue Sauce

    Return the shredded chicken to the skillet. Pour in the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to heat through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the pulled barbecue chicken on buns, topped with coleslaw.
