In the South, we "pull" any meat, kicked up with tons of spices. Unfortunately the traditional meats used are high in fat- think dark meat chicken, pork butt roasts, etc. The use of bbq pulled meats are endless. This recipe uses boneless skinless chicken breast to cut the fat, but just as tender since its cooked all day in the slow cooker! It's great alone with a side of baked beans, potato salad and slaw (traditional), or sandwiched between a gluten free hamburger bun. We have enjoyed this on top of baked potatoes, then broiled with cheese, in quesadillas, cold in a lunch wrap (we use Food For Life's brown rice tortillas), on top of a pizza with pineapple or mixed with rice pasta and cheese!
