Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces sandwich rolls or buns
- optional toppings (coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the crock pot and pour the chicken broth over them.
In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Set the crock pot to LOW and cook the chicken for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the crock pot and place it on a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into small pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the crock pot and stir to combine with the sauce. Let it sit on LOW for another 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Toast the sandwich rolls or buns if desired, and then spoon the shredded chicken onto each bun.
Add optional toppings like coleslaw, pickles, or sliced onions for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
