Directions
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken breasts in the spice mixture. Heat a tablespoon of avocado oil in a pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3 minutes on each side.
Place 1 cup of water or broth in the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and tender enough to shred.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it. Add a small amount of cooking liquid to the chicken so it is moist. Let the chicken cool and place in the fridge until cold.
In a bowl, combine the mayo, Buffalo sauce, scallions, pepper, and paprika. Fold the mayo mixture into the cooled, shredded chicken. Season with salt to taste.
Toast your bread or bun and place a scoop of the chicken mixture on top. Arrange the bacon, avocado, tomato, and lettuce on top. Top with Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce and enjoy!
Recipe Note
Instant Pot Directions:
- Toss the chicken breasts in the spice blend and lay them in a single layer in your Instant Pot.
- Add the water. Cover the instant pot with the lid and set the timer to 10 minutes on high pressure. When finished, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes.
- Take the chicken out of the liquid and shred it. Add about ¼-⅓ cup of the liquid to the shredded chicken just until the chicken is moist. Let the chicken cool and place in the fridge until cold.
- Mix as directed above and enjoy!
