This shredded BBQ chicken is FANTASTIC over salads, piled onto light buns, stuffed inside high-fiber tortillas with (rinsed) cole slaw, or eaten all by itself. Yummmmmm!




Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breasts, halved
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. brown sugar (not packed)
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. cider vinegar
2 tsp. garlic powder
Optional: red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions:
Place all ingredients except the chicken in the crock pot. Stir until mixed. Add chicken and coat well with the sauce.

Cover and cook on high for 3 - 4 hours OR on low for 7 - 8 hours, until chicken is fully cooked.

Remove all the chicken and place it in a bowl. Shred each piece using two forks -- one to hold the chicken in place and the other to scrape across the meat and shred it. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot, and mix well with the sauce.

If you're serving a group, keep the crock pot on its lowest setting, so the chicken stays warm. If you like, season to taste with red pepper flakes. Eat up!

I'm making the dish this week. I bought some spouted buns. I plan on grilling some veggies for my side dish. Yummy

I wanted to come back and give a review of the dish since I made it last night.

I liked it, and so did my husband. The only thing I will do differently next time is add less brown sugar. It was a bit too sweet for my taste. Every brand of tomato sauce and ketchup has different amounts of sugar in it, so it could be due to that, although I did use two brands which are pretty low.

I will def. make this dish again. It was very good over the sprouted bun. I used one half of a bun, and it was very filling. I'll be enjoying the leftovers today for lunch.

Thanks again for sharing the recipe.

Best recipe ever! I loved pulled pork/chicken and could never find a really great recipe. My neighbors even stopped in, said the house smelled great and had a taste! Thank you so much for passing that on!
