Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce (optional)
- 6 pieces Soft sandwich buns
- 3 tablespoons Butter, softened (optional, for toasting buns)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a crock pot or a deep baking dish if using an oven.
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken to keep it moist during cooking.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Cover and cook in a crock pot on low for 4-5 hours, or cook in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 2.5-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot or oven and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the juices in the crock pot or baking dish to keep it flavorful and moist.
Optionally, stir barbecue sauce into the shredded chicken for a tangy and sweet flavor boost.
To prepare the sandwich buns, spread a thin layer of softened butter on the inside of each bun and toast them in a skillet or under a broiler until golden brown, if desired.
Scoop the warm shredded chicken onto the prepared sandwich buns.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
