I first made this Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken when I had some young nephews coming to visit. They weren’t too interested in the idea of lettuce wraps, but they loved the chicken inside quesadillas as much as I enjoyed it in a lettuce wrap. And my barbecue sauce uses sugar-free ketchup and Monkfruit sweetener, which makes this perfect for a low-carb meal.

Why is this recipe a favorite for me?
I’ve always been a fan of the flavor of barbecued chicken and barbecued pork, but I always found most barbecue sauce to be too sweet, and I didn’t want all that sugar. But once I discovered a tasty sugar-free ketchup I created my own sauce and really enjoyed this Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken served inside lettuce wraps!
