Instructions
- Fill a medium pot ¾ of the way with water. Place over a medium-high flame. Bring the water to a boil. Carefully add chicken breasts to boiling water, return to just a simmer, cover and remove from heat. Chicken will poach in the hot liquid, for about 4 to 8 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165F degrees is reached. Remove chicken from water and dice it. Set aside.
- In a separate pot, heat oil over medium-high heat; add onions and sauté for 2 minutes. Mix in garlic, mustard and chili powder and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. Add paste and cook for 1 minute. Add cranberry sauce, vinegar, molasses and water. Bring to a simmer, whisking often until mixture becomes thick, about 30 minutes.
- Next, place the chicken into the pot and toss with sauce. Heat the chicken through completely. For each serving place 1/2 cup BBQ chicken on the bun. Serve with your favorite side.
