A convenient and delicious shredded chicken dish made in a crockpot, perfect for sandwiches, tacos, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, with fat trimmed off
- 1.25 cups barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cups Italian dressing
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Spray the inside of a large crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or use disposable liners. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, then place them in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Mixing: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, light brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover the crockpot with the lid.
- Cooking: Cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for 5-6 hours until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Serving: Once cooked, serve the chicken whole or shred using two forks right in the crockpot. Serve on buns for BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches or use in pizza, salad, tacos, nachos, or over rice.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating. For extra flavor, consider adding chopped onions or bell peppers. Adjust sweetness by altering brown sugar amount.
