**Pulled Chicken Breast Oven**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 onion, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon brown sugar
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, oregano, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they form a golden crust.
4. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
5. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, for about 3-4 minutes.
6. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to incorporate all the flavorful bits. Bring the broth to a simmer.
7. Pour the onion and broth mixture over the chicken breasts in the baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.
9. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces right in the baking dish.
10. Pour the barbecue sauce over the shredded chicken, mixing well to ensure every piece is coated in the delicious sauce.
11. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
12. Serve your Pulled Chicken Breast warm, piled high on buns or alongside your favorite side dishes. This dish goes perfectly with crunchy coleslaw, crispy fries, or a fresh green salad.
