Description

This Keto Crockpot BBQ Chicken Recipe is a delicious and easy low-carb dish perfect for a busy weeknight. Tender chicken breasts are slow-cooked in a flavorful sugar-free barbecue sauce until perfectly shredded and ready to serve.


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 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

  1. Add the chicken breasts to a slow cooker.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar sweetener, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or until chicken is easily shredded with a fork.
  5. 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. You’ll want to use a sauce with the same amount of carbs or recalculate the nutrition information yourself for accurate info.
