Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Recipe

This is the easiest and simply the best Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe! Fall-apart tender, juicy, sweet, so satisfying and so delicious. Serve the shredded chicken in buns as a sandwich, on a side of rice, mashed potatoes or on a slice of bread.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed of fat – about 3 lbs)

1 cup BBQ sauce (I used Kraft Sweet Honey)

1 small yellow onion - finely grated (with juice)

2 tablespoons apple juice

1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon fine salt

Instructions:

In a 5 or 6 qt slow cooker combine and stir sauce ingredients: 1 cup BBQ sauce, 1 small yellow onion (finely grated, with juice), 2 tbsp apple juice, 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar and ¼ tsp fine salt.

Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed of fat – about 3 lbs) to slow cooker and turn to coat.

Cover with lid and cook on high for 3-4 hours (or low 6-7 hours). (I did 3 hours). Chicken is ready when cooked through and easy to shred.

Remove chicken to a cutting board and shred each breast using couple forks. Transfer shredded chicken back into crock pot and stir to coat with sauce.

Serve in buns as a sandwich, on a side of rice, mashed potatoes or on a slice of bread.
