Ingredients

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Barbecue sauce - 200 milliliters (halal-certified)
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Burger buns - 2, halved
• Coleslaw - 100 grams (for serving)

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and pour in the water and barbecue sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly.
4. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally, until fully cooked and tender.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and stir it into the sauce, allowing it to absorb the flavors for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Toast the burger buns lightly on a separate skillet or grill.
7. Serve the pulled chicken on the toasted buns, topped with coleslaw.
