Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce (optional)
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 0.5 cup Pickles (optional)
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot or a deep skillet with a lid.
Step 2
Pour the chicken broth over the chicken breasts and add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Let it cool slightly before shredding.
Step 5
Using two forks or your hands, shred the chicken into small pieces.
Step 6
If you’re using barbecue sauce, return the shredded chicken to the pot, add the barbecue sauce, and stir to coat evenly. Cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 7
To assemble the sandwiches, place a portion of shredded chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Add pickles and coleslaw, if desired, and cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy!
