-
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3-4 pieces)
-
1 1/2 cups Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
-
Add ingredients to crockpot:
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, mix BBQ sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, and seasonings. Pour sauce over the chicken. -
Cook:
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork. -
Shred and stir:
Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return it to the crockpot and stir to coat with the sauce. Let it warm through for another 10–15 minutes.
-
Serve:
Serve hot on sandwich buns, over rice, in wraps, or with mac and cheese and slaw on the side.
Notes
-
Add a splash of hot sauce or chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Leftovers are great for meal prep—store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Works great with boneless thighs too!
