Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker and drizzle with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, water, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke (if using), brown erythritol sweetener, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Whisk together until well mixed to create the low carb BBQ sauce.
Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low for about 3-4 hours or until the chicken is tender and can be easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and use two forks to shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat with the remaining sauce.
Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
