Sashi Made A Recipe: Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Chicken (& Broiled Zucchini)

 

My husband, Andy, LOVES Carolina vinegar sauce so when I found this recipe over on Taste of Home, I had to make it. It was light yet filling and full of flavor! 

To keep it simple, I just did a quick broil on some zucchini slices. For the zucchini,  I sliced it with my mandoline then put the slices on a baking sheet that had been sprayed with olive oil spray. I lightly spritzed the slices with spray, sprinkled them with Garlic Lovers by FlavorGod (garlic powder works beautifully,  too) and salt, then broiled them about 5 minutes. Easy peasy and tasty!

Carolina-Style Vinegar BBQ Chicken 

• 2 c water*
• 1 c white vinegar
• 1/4 c sugar
• 2 packets of Herbox Chicken Bouillon or 1 Tbsp low sodium bouillon base*
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional if you like more heat)
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the water, vinegar, sugar, bouillon,  red pepper flakes, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a 3- to 5-qt slow cooker,  place the chicken breasts then pour in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
3. Remove the chicken and shred with 2 forks. Place in a medium bowl.
4. Pour 1 cup of the sauce from the slow cooker in with the chicken. Reserve 1/2 cup of the remaining sauce and discard the rest.
5. Serve the chicken with a drizzle of the reserved sauce, if needed. I ate it as is but this would also make an awesome sandwich!

* I think you could also use a 15oz can of reduced sodium chicken broth in place of the water and bouillon,  too!

Serves 4-6

On WW Blue 💙, up to 1 cup with a Tbsp of additional sauce is just 1 pt!
