Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 bay leaf
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
1 pinch poultry seasoning, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
1 cup salsa
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 (2 ounce) hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Put chicken into a pot and fill water to cover by 1 inch. Add lime juice, bay leaf, garlic salt, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and pepper; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While chicken is cooking, combine BBQ sauce, salsa, and cayenne in a medium bowl.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the pot and shred with 2 forks. Mix shredded chicken into the BBQ sauce mixture until fully covered.
  • Put a little mayo on each hamburger bun and pile the shredded chicken mixture on top.

This was my first time making pulled chicken and it turned out great! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
