Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (14 oz) Cranberry sauce (whole berry)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot in an even layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the cranberry sauce, barbecue sauce, diced onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Pour the cranberry barbecue mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6-8 hours.
Once the cooking time is complete, check the chicken for doneness. It should be tender and easily shred with a fork, and the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
If desired, shred the chicken with two forks directly in the crock pot and stir it into the sauce for added flavor, or leave the chicken breasts whole.
Serve the cranberry barbecue chicken over rice, mashed potatoes, or with a side of vegetables and enjoy!
