Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot in a single layer.
In a medium bowl, combine barbecue sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board.
Using two forks, shred the chicken into pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and mix it well with the sauce to coat evenly.
Serve the pulled chicken hot on buns, in tacos, over rice, or alongside your favorite side dishes.
