Creating a wonderful BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich is incredibly straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and set aside.
2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 3-5 minutes).
3. Season Chicken: Add smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Mix well with the onions and garlic.
4. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the skillet, ensuring they’re well coated with the aromatic mixture.
5. Cook Chicken: Pour in half of the BBQ sauce, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F (75°C).
6. Shred Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks.
7. Combine: Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and add the remaining BBQ sauce. Mix until the chicken is well-coated.
8. Rest: Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
9. Toast Buns: While the chicken rests, toast the hamburger buns until lightly golden.
10. Assemble Sandwiches: Pile the BBQ pulled chicken onto the bottom half of each bun, add coleslaw and pickles if desired, and top with the other half of the bun.
