Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces hamburger buns

Instructions
Add the chicken breasts to the bottom of the crockpot.
Pour the barbecue sauce and chicken broth over the chicken.
Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the chicken.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken directly in the crockpot. Mix the shredded chicken with the sauce to ensure it's evenly coated.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly, if desired.
Spoon a generous portion of the pulled chicken onto the bottom half of each bun.
Top with coleslaw and pickle slices, if using, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Crockpot Pulled Chicken Sandwiches!
