Slow Cooked BBQ Chicken

Leave a reply

Slow Cooked BBQ ChickenI love slow cooker recipes. Just put it all in a pot and walk away until dinner. Works well for those busy days. For me personally I like the extra time I get working out in the afternoons not having to worry about starting dinner. 1/2 cup is 3 weight watcher points (old) serve with half a weight watchers pita and side salad and you have a full balanced dinner. Just make sure to count you points.

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 lb. raw Boneless Lean Chicken Thighs or Breast (I personally like and used Thighs)
  • 1 can Tomato Paste (I used Garlic and Herb)
  • 1 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. brown sugar (not packed)
  • 2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • Red pepper flakes
Directions:
  1. Place all ingredients except the chicken in the crock pot. Stir until mixed.
  2. Add chicken and coat well with the sauce.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3 – 4 hours or on low for 7 – 8 hours, until chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Remove all the chicken and place it in a bowl. Shred each piece using two forks.
  5. Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot, and mix well with the sauce.
  6. Serve and Enjoy.
