- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste (no salt added)
- 6 Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 6 Lettuce leaves

Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the low sodium chicken broth, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts.
Step 3
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.

Once cooked, remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred using two forks.
Step 5
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine apple cider vinegar, honey, and tomato paste. Stir until well blended and warm.
Step 6
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker. Pour the tomato paste mixture over the chicken, stirring to combine. Let it cook on low for an additional 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

To serve, place some of the pulled chicken on the bottom half of a whole wheat bun and top with lettuce leaf and two slices of tomato.
Step 8
Cover with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your low sodium pulled chicken sandwich!
