Pulled Chicken Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  3. 3

    Simmer

    Cover the skillet and let the chicken cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until it’s fully cooked and tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Combine with Sauce

    Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, add the barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar, and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pulled chicken on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides.
