Ingredients Notes

Pork tenderloin is the star—about 26 grams of protein per 4-ounce serving, it’s lean yet stays juicy when slow-cooked, making it ideal for pulled pork. BBQ sauce brings the tangy, smoky flavor—choose a thick variety (around 10-15 grams of carbs per 2 tablespoons), it’s the key to that classic BBQ taste. Chicken broth adds moisture and depth—low-sodium (1 gram of protein per cup), it keeps the pork succulent and enhances the savoriness. Salt and pepper round out the flavors—adjustable, they keep it simple yet bold.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap pork tenderloin for pork loin or shoulder—loin’s slightly fattier (22g protein per 4 oz), shoulder’s richer (22g), both shred well. Use a spicy or honey BBQ sauce instead of regular—spicy adds heat, honey brings sweetness for a twist. Sub chicken broth with beef broth or apple juice—beef’s deeper, apple juice adds a fruity note. Add a teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder—extra flavor if you’ve got it. Try a splash of hot sauce or smoked paprika—amps up the spice or smokiness.

Storage Options

Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days—the flavors meld, making it even tastier over time! Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes with a splash of broth to keep it juicy, or microwave for 1-2 minutes for a quick fix. Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months—portion into freezer-safe containers or bags, then thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat for a fast, juicy pulled pork meal whenever you need it.
