Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Pulled Chicken (Ideally done in advance!)

Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free BBQ sauce, low-sodium chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Stir until smooth, then pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily shreddable.

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker. Stir the shredded chicken to mix it well with the sauce. This will make 10 servings, you will use 4 for this recipe and have 6, 100g servings left. You can track the bbq pulled chicken on its own by tracking “TBB BBQ pulled chicken”

Bake or Air Fry the Hashbrowns:

Baking: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the hashbrown patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the hashbrown patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

In a non-stick skillet, lightly spray with cooking spray and heat over low- medium heat.

Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. You can make them sunny-side-up, over-easy, or poached, depending on your preference.

Assemble

Place 1 hashbrown patty on each plate, then top with 100g BBQ Pulled Chicken, then the egg. Serve with additional optional toppings of cheese, avocado, and extra bbq sauce along your favorite breakfast items.
