Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup quinoa uncooked
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup hickory BBQ sauce plus additional for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon hickory liquid smoke
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 pound raw chicken breasts
  • Cilantro for garnish
  • Green onion for garnish
  • Cheddar cheese for garnish

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients up to the pepper in the bottom of your slow cooker and stir together until well mixed.
  • Nestle the chicken breasts into the mixture so that the liquid covers them. Cook on high heat for 2-3 hours, or until the broth is absorbed and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Remove the chicken breasts and shred with two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and mix well.
  • Garnish with BBQ sauce, cilantro, green onions, and cheddar cheese (if desired).
  • Enjoy!
