Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 pieces Burger buns
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional for topping)
- 0.5 cup Pickles (optional for topping)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot or Dutch oven.
Add the chicken broth, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-size pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce and brown sugar. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
Toast the burger buns (optional) to add texture and prevent them from getting soggy.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place a generous portion of pulled chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with coleslaw and pickles if desired, then place the top half of the bun on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
