Not Ur Average Mom Of 5

Author: Not Ur Average Mom Of 5

Most importantly, I am a mother of 5. I don't have your typical happily ever after family. I am divorced (one of those nasty messy ones), I have way too many bills (don't we all) and I really don't have any interesting hobbies (wasn't always that way, I grew up riding horses) I am in a relationship with the love of my life and my happily ever after. He is the most amazing and loving person I have ever met. Payton deals with my crazy life and family and embraces is with so much love and support. He is the BEST dad and father figure I know). He is an Engineer for our local fire department and that is HARD. I honestly am so proud of him and so proud of what he does BUT I HATE his job, I hate nights away and I hate the time it takes from our family. People don't realize how difficult it is. At the end of the day, I am so thankful for him and our life together, I can't wait to spend forever with him. My kids....they are terrorists. Seriously. I grew up as an only girl out of 4 total kids. I always wanted 4 kids - 2 girls and 2 boys. Well, the big man upstairs had other plans! I am bless with one daughter and four sons. My daughter is the oldest. Makenzee Adele is 11, going on 18. She is smart and hardworking and LOVES school. Caleb is next. He is 9 and so loving. He works really hard in school and loves baseball. Next is Connor. He is 7 and very advanced in school. He hates doing any school work and has the silliest personality and can light up a room. Connor plans to play professional football for the Arizona Cardinals when he grows up. Moving forward is Keegan. I had the worst pregnancy with him. I had Hyperemisis Gravidum and was on home IV and Zofran for the majority of the pregnancy. He was born healthy and is 4 and a wonderful boy who causes more trouble than necessary (he was recently diagnosed with Autism and ADHD). Lastly is Rhett. He is the baby and loves getting treated like he is. He was born April 5 (I am seriously not changing the months constantly) and LOVES cuddles possibly more than his dad. So that is a bit about me and my family! Subscribe to my blog to read more about my WILD ride!!

Happy Friday, friends! Today, I have teamed up with some bloggers to bring you fun BBQ recipes! Once you check mine out, be sure to scroll to the bottom to check out what they have!

Today I am sharing a super easy recipe for pulled BBQ chicken. The catch is, the sauce is homemade and low sugar/carb! So anyone who is keto, this is a perfect one for you!

A brief history on my diet, for anyone who doesn’t know, I dabbled in keto, but found cutting carbs completely just isn’t for me or my fitness goals. Payton does eat exclusively keto and has for almost 2 years now.

What do you need?

The list for this recipe is really simple. You need tomato sauce, chicken, garlic, minced onion seasoning, Apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, stevia and a crockpot.

How to make it

The great thing about crockpots is the recipes are usually set and forget. I dumped all ingredients in first and mixed them together. Then set the chicken on top, turn them on the sauce a couple of times and throw it on low heat for about 4 hours. That is literally it!! Couldn’t get any easier.

So I am just going to share the recipe now since that is what you really came here for 😂

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken breast (I use organic personally)
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (I use Bragg)
2 tablespoons of sweetener (I use Stevia)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon minced onion seasoning
1 tablespoon minced garlic (I get the paste)

Instructions

Add tomato sauce in your crockpot first.
Add all ingredients but the chicken and mix well
Set the chicken on top and flip a few times to evenly coat the sauce
Cover your crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours. Please note, you can shorten the time to 2 hours by turning on high but I do not recommend this as the sauce may burn a bit and chicken won’t be as tender.
After 4 hours use two forks to pull the chicken breast’s apart. I do this while it is in the sauce.
Service with lettuce

Anyone that tries this, let me know how you like it!!
