Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup BBQ sauce
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 5

Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 7

Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Step 8

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easily falls apart.

Step 9

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker so it absorbs the sauce.

Step 10

Serve the BBQ pulled chicken on hamburger buns, or with sides like coleslaw or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
