Frango desfiado ao barbecue na panela elétrica

Ingredientes

• 2 (1/2 inch thick) slices of onion,
• 1-2 large cloves garlic, (peeled and whole)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (packed)
• 4 (6-8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups prepared barbecue sauce

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Add the sliced onions and garlic (1-2 cloves) to the bottom of a slow cooker and pour in chicken stock (1/2 cup).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix together the spice mix until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Pat chicken breast (4) with paper towels to remove any excess moisture from the packaging.

4. 4

   Generously sprinkle both sides of the chicken evenly with the spice mixture (you may have some leftovers). Gently press the spice mixture onto the chicken to help it adhere.

5. 5

   Lay chicken, in a single layer, over onions. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or 8-10 on low, or until chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.

6. 6

   Set a sieve over a heat-proof mixing bowl and pour the onion-liquid mixture into the sieve. Place the drained onion mixture on a cutting board and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces. Return the chopped onions to the crockpot and discard the liquids.

7. 7

   Using 2 forks shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine with the onion mixture.

8. 8

   Add prepared BBQ sauce (2 cups) and combine to chicken mixture. Cover the crockpot, turn on high, and heat just until warm through. Serve.
