Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 pieces buns or rolls (optional, for serving)
- 1 cups coleslaw (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring the chicken is fully coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easy to shred.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine it with the sauce.
Let the shredded chicken sit in the sauce on the warm setting for an additional 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Serve the pulled BBQ chicken hot on buns or rolls, topped with coleslaw if desired.
Enjoy your meal!
