Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

I forgot to mention one of my odd eating habits - I only eat white meat, like fish or poultry. Why? Well, I was a vegetarian for quite sometime but found it hard to eat well balanced meals and stay lean. I was overloading on carbs! So, I slowly introduced chicken and turkey back into my diet. So, I would like to introduce "Pulled Chicken Sandwiches" in place of pulled pork! I promise, they are still very, very tasty (and lower cal!)

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

1 Lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
½ Onion, Finely Chopped
1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
Pinch Salt And Pepper (To taste)
1/2 Tsp Sweetener Of Choice
2 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
¾ Cup Reduced Sugar Barbecue Sauce
4 Whole Wheat Sandwich Buns (Try to find the thinest ones or enjoy an open faced sandwich)

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and place in a pot over high heat with onion, seasonings, apple cider vinegar, and bbq sauce.

Add just enough water to almost cover the chicken (about 1/2 cup) and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with 2 forks.

Continue to boil the sauce, stirring occasionally until reduced and thickened (about 10-15 minutes.)  Add the shredded chicken back into the sauce and divide mixture between the four buns just before serving.
