This is a great twist on traditional BBQ Pulled Pork. Pulled pork is a little problematic because most people make it with a ton of BBQ sauce which is loaded with sugar. We cut a bit of the sugar out but still pump it full of flavor.
To cut some extra carbs I like to do this as an open faced sandwich topped with a bit of shredded cheese rather than using a bun.
This is a slow cooker recipe so be ready for it to take around 6 hours to prepare.
Ingredients
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 4-ounce can green chilies, drained
3 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. ground chipotle
2 1/2 pounds boneless chicken (breasts or thighs both work)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Low carb buns
Optional: grated cheese and additional chopped onions
Directions
This really couldn’t be any easier to make.
- Toss in everything from the tomato sauce to the ground chipotle in your slow cooker and stir.
- Carefully add the chicken, onions, and garlic.
- Put on the lid and cook for around five hours. You know it’s done with the chicken comes apart easily with a fork.
- Use two forks to shred the chicken and mix it in with the sauce.
- Put one half of a bun on each plate, top with chicken, and garnish with cheese and onions.
