Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Low carb barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a slow cooker.
Pour the low carb barbecue sauce and apple cider vinegar over the chicken in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the barbecue sauce.
Allow the chicken to cook on low for an additional 20-30 minutes to absorb more flavor.
Serve warm on its own or use as a filling for your favorite low carb wraps or lettuce cups.
