Pulled Barbecue Chicken

​Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 4 hours
Serves: 6

​Are you looking for a quick and simple meal? There are a lot of ingredients in this recipe, but all you have to do is throw them all in the crock pot and forget about it. It doesn’t get any better – or any easier- than that.  The meat is slow-cooked and is very juicy. This recipe makes a lot of food and it can be served many different ways. One night I served it as a taco. You can use corn tortillas, a lettuce wrap, or a paleo wrap, which is a tortilla alternative made from coconut meat, coconut water, and coconut oil. It is super yummy!!
