Hawaiian Shredded Chicken
Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (0 points)
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained (0 points)
½ yellow onion, thinly sliced (0 points)
1 cup reduced-sugar BBQ sauce (3-4 points per 1/4 cup, depending on brand)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (0 points)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (0 points)
2 teaspoons garlic powder (0 points)
1 teaspoon onion powder (0 points)
½ teaspoon ground ginger (0 points)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Arrange the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Add Ingredients:
Add the crushed pineapple, sliced onion, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ginger to the slow cooker.
Mix everything together to coat the chicken breasts evenly.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours. Avoid removing the lid while the chicken cooks to ensure it stays moist.
Reduce Sauce (Optional):
If the sauce is still thin after the chicken is cooked, remove the lid and cook on high for an additional 15-30 minutes to allow more liquid to evaporate.
Shred the Chicken:
Once the chicken is fully cooked, use two large forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the sauce.
Serve:
Serve the Hawaiian Shredded Chicken over a bed of cauliflower rice, in lettuce wraps, or with a side of steamed vegetables for a low-point meal.

  2. Pineapple:
    • If you need to lower the carbs even more, you can reduce the amount of pineapple or substitute with a low-carb fruit like a small amount of diced peaches (in moderation) or simply use pineapple extract for flavor without the carbs.
