Tastes like summer
Tastes like chicken, too. I’ve always wanted to find a way to sneak that last line – “Tastes like chicken” – into a blog post and now I have. Thanks for indulging me there. In all seriousness though, now you can put your slow cooker to work and make some pretty mean Whole30-friendly barbecue that your entire family will love – even if it is the middle of the winter.
Time to get sauced
The sauce for this Slow Cooker Peach BBQ Chicken is simple to make and makes about 3 cups of sauce so you have plenty for the recipe and anything else you might want to slather with smoky-sweet goodness. If you don’t plan to use all of the sauce within a week or two just portion out the leftovers into small glass jars and freeze for another day.
Hold the buns, please
Confession: I’m not a fan of buns. I just think they’re so unnecessary. I mean, I love the look of buns and the utility of buns (holding things together) but I always find them to be so bread-y. And I feel overly full when I eat things that involves buns. Can anyone else relate? Surely I’m not the only bun hater here. So instead of buns I opt to wrap mounds of Slow Cooker Peach BBQ Chicken in tender butter lettuce leaves – or leaf lettuce, or romaine in a pinch. This keeps the focus on the filling, allows me to save my carbs for something else (I’m looking at you, garlic-roasted root vegetable fries!) plus it keeps the whole works Whole30-friendly.
Make it ‘Memphis Style’
It’s totally optional, but highly recommended to top your barbecue with a fork-full of creamy coleslaw to make it ‘Memphis-style’. That juxtaposition between smoky-sweet sauce and cool, crunchy cabbage is the cherry on the barbecue sundae here. So good.
