Ingredients
- 5 chicken breasts (or 8 chicken thighs)
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- ⅓ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F
- Cut the chicken into large chunks approximately 2 inches in size. Place them in a tinfoil lined baking dish, add the olive oil and all of the spices and stir with a spatula to ensure they are all well coated. Transfer to the oven to bake for 20 minutes
- Once the chicken is done cooking, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the baking dish (or I sometimes just let the chicken cool slightly and then use my fingers to shred it into large shredded pieces). Mix the shredded chicken in with any of the leftover spices and oil in the bottom of the pan so that it soaks it all up.
