Spray the inside of the crock pot with non-stick cooking spray or line with a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup.
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well blended.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, making sure they are completely covered with the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and tender, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crock pot. Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce to ensure it is evenly coated.
Serve the BBQ chicken warm on sandwich buns, over rice, in tacos, or alongside your favorite side dishes. Optionally, garnish with coleslaw or fresh parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
