Ingredients
- CROCKPOT BARBECUE CHICKEN
- 6 boneless chicken breasts, seasoned with salt & pepper
- 2 1/4 cups barbecue sauce (I used 2 bottles of Primal Kitchen)
- 4 tbs raw honey
- 1 tbs coconut sugar
- 1/2 medium onion, grated with juice
- 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- PINEAPPLE CORN SALSA
- 2 cups finely diced pineapple
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 2 tbs chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 cup canned corn kernels, rinsed & drained
- 1/2 large jalepeno, minced (seeds & ribs removed) *optional for added heat*
- salt to taste
- TACOS
- 15-20 soft corn tortillas or hard shells
- your preferred toppings: cojita or feta cheese, diced avocado, cilantro, lime juice, etc.
Instructions
CROCKPOT BARBECUE CHICKEN
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place into crockpot.
In medium bowl, whisk together all other ingredients until combined, and pour over chicken into crockpot.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.
When chicken is done cooking, shred on cutting board with two forks and return to crockpot. Stir chicken around in the sauce and serve.
PINEAPPLE CORN SALSA
Dice the pineapple and drain and rinse the corn. Place into medium bowl.
Mince the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Add to pineapple/corn.
Squeeze the juice from 1 lime and lightly mix, adding salt to taste.
*Optional - add minced jalepeno for added heat.
TACOS
Heat tortillas in microwave until warm OR on frying pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side.
If you would like to char the tortillas, turn your oven to broil, and place the tortillas on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then place in the oven for around 30 seconds. Remove from oven, flip the tortillas, and repeat on the other side.
Notes
*If you're not trying to "eat clean", you can use a different brand of BBQ sauce and use brown sugar instead. I have used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce for this recipe as well, but adjusted to: 3 cups sweet baby ray's bbq sauce, 1 T honey, 4 T brown sugar. * All of the other ingredients stay the same.
