Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your slow cooker on the low setting.
Step 2
Pat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Rub each piece with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder, making sure to cover all sides.
Step 4
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the slow cooker.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the sugar-free BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke (if using) until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 7
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and let the chicken cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the chicken is fork-tender and cooked through.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the BBQ sauce until it's well incorporated.
Step 9
Serve the shredded BBQ chicken hot as is, or alongside keto-friendly sides such as cauliflower rice or a green salad.
