  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a large skillet or saucepan and pour in the chicken broth and 1 cup of the barbecue sauce, turning the chicken to coat.

  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the chicken is very tender and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.

  3. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board or large bowl and shred into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

  4. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet with the cooking liquid and stir in the remaining 1 cup of barbecue sauce.
