Mallory KaneIngredients
- 2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (thighs would work well too here)
- 1 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- 1/4 cup Yellow Onion (Grated)
- 1 1/2 cups Gluten Free BBQ Sauce
- 2 tbsp Steak Sauce (I used A1)
Instructions
- 1Place chicken breasts in a crockpot
- 2In a bowl whisk together chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne powder, salt, and pepper
- 3Pour mixture over chicken and add grated onion. Toss well to evenly coat spices and onion
- 4Pour 3/4 of the BBQ sauce over the chicken breasts
- 5Cover and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours until chicken shreds easily
- 6Transfer chicken to a cutting board, reserve liquid from the crockpot (make sure to skim the fat off the surface and discard)
- 7Shred chicken and return to crockpot
- 8Heat remaining 3/4 cup of BBQ with the steak sauce in a microwaveable safe dish until warm (about 1-2 minutes)
- 9Pour 3/4 of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce over the shredded chicken and toss evenly to coat. If the shredded chicken seems like it needs more moisture add more of the reserved liquid or more BBQ sauce
- 10Taste test and add more salt and/or pepper if needed. Then, enjoy 😋! You can eat the chicken as is or add to a hamburger bun and make a sammy

Whole30 is easier when the crockpot does the work — throw in a chuck roast, sweet potatoes, and broth in the morning, and dinner is compliant and ready by 6.
Cooks on Pepper turn to this collection during round-one weeks because every recipe holds strictly to Whole30 rules: no grains, no dairy, no legumes, no sugar.
Every recipe here is set-and-forget — five minutes of prep, six hours on low, and a from-scratch dinner that fits the reset.
Quick Tips
- 1
Coconut aminos in place of soy sauce
Whole30 bans soy — coconut aminos taste nearly identical and are approved.
- 2
Ghee is compliant
Butter isn't Whole30 but ghee is — use it for browning without breaking the rules.
- 3
Sear before slow-cooking
Even 3 minutes per side on a chuck roast doubles the finished flavor.
- 4
Skip the potato starch
Thicken with reduced broth or arrowroot instead of cornstarch or flour.
