This almost completely hands-off Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe makes meal prep a breeze! Barbecue sauce-drenched chicken breasts are cooked low and slow in a crockpot to give you fall-apart tender chicken that’s perfect for sandwiches, salads, and more.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb. chicken breast (3 breasts)
- 18 oz. bbq sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Step: Place the chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Step: In a bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk the bbq sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and salt together, then pour the mixture over the chicken.
- Step: Cook the chicken on high for 2-3 hours, or on low for 6-7 hours.
- Step: Use two forks to shred the chicken right in the slow cooker, then stir so it’s fully covered in the sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Calories are per serving and are an estimation. Keep the chicken in the pot while you shred it for better sauce absorption. For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered on high for 10-15 minutes after shredding.
