Easy Crockpot BBQ Chicken
This tender, saucy pulled chicken is the perfect easy meal for busy weeknights.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than coming home to the smell of slow cooked chicken. This recipe is a favorite in my kitchen because it is so simple and the flavor is always spot on. You just toss everything in the slow cooker and let it do all the hard work for you.
My best tip is to shred the chicken while it is still warm so it absorbs all that extra barbecue sauce. It stays nice and juicy that way, making every single bite taste delicious.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 18 ounces of your favorite barbecue sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar

Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the chicken is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

💡 Tips
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. You can also freeze the pulled chicken in a freezer bag for a quick meal later on. Serve it over baked potatoes or inside warm flour tortillas if you want a change from standard buns.
