Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce Other brands may be used, but the flavor will vary.
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth Can substitute with vegetable broth.
Seasonings
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can be used.
  • 1 tablespoon Onion powder Shallots may be diced as a fresh alternative.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Fresh cracked pepper enhances the flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the chicken breasts in the Crockpot.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  5. Shred the chicken in the sauce and serve on buns, over rice, or with your favorite sides.

Notes

Always use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best results. Consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar for tanginess in your barbecue sauce mixture. Shred the chicken right in the Crockpot to absorb more sauce. Serve with toasted buns to add extra texture to your meal. Feel free to experiment with seasoning; smoked paprika adds a great touch! Common mistakes include not adding enough liquid, cooking on high for too long, skipping seasoning, and not shredding properly.
