I made this Keto BBQ Chicken Lasagna recipe. The family loved it.
I always try new cooking ideas, and this Keto BBQ Chicken Lasagna Recipe is a big hit – I used Palmini lasagna sheets (less than $6 on Amazon). They are made of heart of palm, no one screamed that’s “not pasta”, so I recommend it. They come with only 4g of carbs per 12oz and are full of great nutrients.
This Keto BBQ Chicken Lasagna recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare (not including the shredded chicken tights), 45 minutes cooking and it easily feeds 10 hungry people 🙂
This Keto BBQ Chicken Lasagna recipe is in two steps, one shredded chicken tights. I always buy bulk organic ones, slow cook, shred and freeze them in the cooking juice.

Shredded Chicken Thighs Preparation
-
-
- Place all the ingredients in a 6-quart (or larger) slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on low until the chicken is fork-tender, about 6 hours.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker,
- Remove the skin (reserve the skin for making chicken cracklings).
- Pull the meat from the bones, discard the bones,
- Shred the meat using 2 forks.
Store the chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
-
Note: If you’re not using the chicken right away, store it with some of the juices from the slow cooker. It will help keep the meat moist until you use it.
Makes 3 cups shredded chicken.
Notes
Store extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a baking dish in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes or until warmed through.
