Dinner: Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken

Using a slow cooker allows you to have dinner ready to go when you get home from a busy day. If you can find smoked paprika, use it in place of the regular paprika to enhance the smoky barbeque flavor of the chicken.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt (optional)
1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed
1 medium onion, diced
1 cup reduced carb or reduced sugar barbeque sauce
8 large lettuce leaves
2 cups shredded cabbage

Instructions

Combine paprika, chili powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and salt (optional) in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and toss to completely coat chicken.
 Add chicken and onion to a slow cooker and set to low for 5-6 hours.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and set on a cutting board or in a bowl to rest for 15 minutes. Take any remaining liquid and onions from slow cooker and mix with the barbeque sauce, set aside.
Pull chicken and shred with a fork. Discard bones.
Mix pulled chicken with barbeque sauce and onion mixture.
To build the sandwich, add a heaping ½ cup of chicken to a lettuce leaf and top with ¼ cup shredded cabbage.
