Method

Prepare the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest.

Prepare the BBQ Carnitas

    Prepare the Pork

    In a slow cooker, place the pork shoulder and add diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth.

  2. 4

    Cook the Pork

    Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and easily shredded. Shred the pork with two forks and mix in BBQ sauce.

Combine Mayo and Pickle

  1. 5

    Mix Mayo and Pickles

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise and sliced pickles. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble the Chicken Package

    Build the Package

    Slice the grilled chicken breasts. On each serving plate, layer slices of chicken, generous spoonfuls of BBQ carnitas, and a dollop of the mayo-pickle mixture.
