Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat your slow cooker on the low setting.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Transfer them to the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, sugar-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke.
Pour the mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat it in the sauce. Allow it to sit in the sauce for an additional 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the Keto BBQ Pulled Chicken hot on a bed of lettuce, in a low-carb wrap, or paired with steamed vegetables.
