Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup bottled sugar-free barbecue sauce plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar sweetener
  • 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes more or less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  • Add the chicken breasts to a slow cooker.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar sweetener, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder. 
  • Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is easily shredded with a fork.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

All slow cookers cook differently. 4 hours is what works for us, but keep cooking until your chicken easily shreds apart with a fork.
Chicken thighs will also work in this recipe.
We like to serve this chicken with a side of cauliflower rice and our keto coleslaw, but there are loads of ideas listed in the blog post.
We used Sweet Baby Ray's No Sugar Added sauce which has 1 net carb per 2 tablespoons. (4g total carbs - 1g fiber - 2g allulose = 1g net carbs) You'll want to use a sauce with the same amount of carbs or recalculate the nutrition information yourself for accurate info.
