Fill a large pan with water, add 2 chicken stock cubes to the water and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling, place the chicken breasts in the water, then lower the heat slightly.
The chicken breasts will be done in around 20 minutes, depending on their size.
Finely dice ½ a red onion. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and pull apart the meat using 2 forks. Put the chicken in a bowl.
Add 180 - 200 ml of barbecue sauce and stir through the pulled chicken. Make sure all the chicken is covered with barbecue sauce.
Heat a griddle pan or frying pan over medium heat, and grill the hamburger buns on both sides. Remove the hamburger buns from the pan and add a dash of sunflower oil.
Briefly fry the finely chopped red onion, then add the pulled chicken to warm it up again. Season to taste with pepper.
Serve the pulled chicken on a hamburger bun.
Tip: Add fresh lettuce and red coleslaw to the roll to serve as an evening meal. Enjoy this delicious pulled chicken sandwich!
