Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, roughly 2-2.5 lb worth
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1-1.5 cups paleo BBQ sauce, homemade or a high-quality brand
  • Water, if needed

Instructions

  1. Add chicken, onion, and garlic to the bottom of the slow cooker. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Add BBQ sauce and cover with lid. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 4-5.

  2. Once done, shred the chicken with two forks and stir to coat with the sauce. If the chicken seems like it needs a bit more moisture, add a little water and/or more sauce, and stir again.
