Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces burger buns
- 1 cup coleslaw (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crock Pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the Crock Pot. Stir the shredded chicken in the sauce to coat evenly.
Toast the burger buns if desired, and then pile the shredded barbecue chicken onto the buns.
Optionally, top each sandwich with a spoonful of coleslaw for added crunch and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious barbecue chicken sandwiches!
