BBQ Pulled Chicken Lettuce Cups

Serves: 10

INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 organic chicken breasts, about 3 pounds (you can use thighs, too)
  • 1 18-oz. bottle high quality bbq sauce (I like homemade from a farmer’s market, but in a pinch, a bottle from the supermarket will do)
  • One big white onion, sliced thin
  • 1 European cucumber, sliced paper thin
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 – 4 heads Boston lettuce, leaves separated

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place the chicken, barbecue sauce and onions in a slow cooker set on low and forget about it for at least 6 hours and as many as 10.
  2. Place cucumber, vinegar and sugar in a bowl and refrigerate for as long as the chicken cooks.
  3. Before you serve, take the chicken out of the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Put the chicken back in the sauce.
  4. Serve the chicken in the lettuce cups, topped with cucumbers.
