Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large, oven safe, heavy-bottom pot (with a lid), heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes - until onion is translucent. Add roasted garlic and paprika and stir to combine. Add half of the BBQ sauce, then nestle the chicken breast in the sauce and onion mixture. Top with remaining sauce. Put the lid on the pot and place in oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove and set aside until chicken is cool enough to handle. Remove chicken to a large cutting board or plate. Using two forks, shred chicken breasts. Place shredded chicken back in the sauce. The sauce will thicken slightly as it cools but if sauce is too thin, put the pot back in the oven (uncovered) for about 15 minutes.
Recipe Notes
While the complete recipe takes about 2 hours, most of it is "hands off" time, so it's great for an easy weeknight dinner.
