Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Lightly grease the inside of your crock pot with non-stick spray or line it with a slow cooker liner to prevent sticking.
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot if desired, or leave the breasts whole.
If the sauce is too thin, remove the lid and allow the sauce to thicken on high heat for an additional 20-30 minutes.
Serve the BBQ chicken on buns, over rice, or alongside your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
