Ingredients

• 3-4 very large chicken breast ((2lb/1kg))
• ⅓ cup all purpose seasoning
• 1 jar homemade guava bbq sauce
• pink salt and black pepper to taste

Method

1. Place the chicken breast of on raw meat chopping board (I line mine with saran wrap/cling film).
2. Use fork to lightly pierce holes on both sides of the chicken.
3. Place some wrap over the top of the chicken breast and use a tenderiser mallet/hammer to repeatedly hit the chicken.
4. Repeat the above 3 steps with the rest of the chicken breasts and set aside.
5. Sprinkle some all purpose seasoning in a small plate.
6. Place/press the chicken so it adheres to the bottom and sprinkle more on the seasoning on the top and flip the chicken over so everywhere is coated.
7. Repeat the above 2 steps with the rest of the chicken.
8. Add olive oil to a medium sized frying pan/skillet on medium heat.
9. Carefully add each chicken breast and proceed to pan sear both sides to lock in the seasoning (you are simply browning the chicken NOT cooking it).
10. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and carefully place them in the slow cooker.
11. Pour the bbq sauce over the chicken making sure each one is completely covered.
12. Put the lid on and set the unit to slow cook for 2 hours on high.
13. Half way through the cooking time, flip the chicken over and baste the chicken with the sauce, put the lid on and leave to continue cook.
14. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the sauce and into a medium sized dish.
15. Use 2 forks to shred the chicken and then return the chicken to the cook slower and stir so the sauce and chicken are combined.
16. Put the lid on an allow to cook for a further 15-20 minutes.
17. Once done, to a taste test and add pink salt and black pepper, if needed.
18. Serve accordingly.
