This recipe is healthy, quick, and a great family pleaser. You can make the chicken in a crock pot or well in advance, and simply re-heat and serve on a high fiber roll, wrap, or bun!

Low Carb Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich
Here's the Dish
Method
The estimated total time to make this recipe is 30-40 minutes.
1
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place in a pot over high heat with onion, seasonings, apple cider vinegar, and barbecue sauce.
2
Add just enough water to almost cover the chicken (about 1/2 cup). Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with 2 forks.
3
Continue to boil the sauce, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened (about 10-15 minutes.) Add the shredded chicken back into the sauce and divide mixture between the four buns just before serving.
Ingredients
| 1 lb | Boneless skinless chicken breasts |
| 1/2 | Onion, finely chopped |
| 1/2 tsp | Garlic powder |
| Pinch | Salt and pepper (or to taste) |
| 1/2 tsp | Sweetener of choice |
| 2 tbs | Apple cider vinegar |
| 3/4 cup | Low sugar barbecue sauce 1 |
| 4 | Whole wheat sandwich thins |
1 I like a BBQ sauce that is low in sugar and has 30 calories or less per serving.
Katie's Tip!
You may also use a crock pot to cook the chicken for this recipe if you have one! Simply place all of the ingredients (except the buns) in the crock pot and let cook for 4 hours on high heat, or 8 hours on low heat! Nutrition Breakdown
