Ingredients:
For the Pulled Chicken:
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts 🍗
1 cup barbecue sauce 🍖
1 tablespoon olive oil 🧴
1 teaspoon smoked paprika 🌶️
1 teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
1 teaspoon onion powder 🧅
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 🧂
1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
1/2 cup chicken broth (or water) 💧
For the Sandwich:
4 sandwich buns 🍞
Pickles 🥒
Potato chips 🍟
Fresh cilantro for garnish 🌿
Instructions:
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Add chicken broth, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Cover the pot and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Shred the Chicken:
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the barbecue sauce. Let the chicken simmer for another 10-15 minutes to absorb the sauce.
Assemble the Sandwiches:
Toast the sandwich buns lightly in a pan or oven.
Pile the pulled chicken onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with fresh cilantro and serve with pickles and potato chips on the side.
Enjoy this mouthwatering, juicy pulled chicken sandwich that’s perfect for lunch or dinner! 😋🍴
