Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 8 pieces soft sandwich buns or rolls
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic on top of the chicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chicken broth.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and onions in the crock pot, ensuring all the chicken is coated evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Once the chicken is cooked, use two forks to shred it directly in the crock pot, mixing it thoroughly with the sauce so it is well-coated.
Serve the sloppy chicken warm on soft buns or rolls, or any preferred base such as baked potatoes or rice.
Optionally, pair with coleslaw or pickle slices for extra flavor.
