Description

This Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken recipe is an incredibly easy and flavorful dish perfect for busy days. Tender, juicy boneless, skinless chicken breasts are simmered slowly in a rich, tangy BBQ sauce until they are fall-apart tender and easy to shred. Ideal for sandwiches, salads, or served as a hearty main, this dish requires minimal prep and lets your slow cooker do all the work.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

BBQ Sauce Mix

  • 1 1/2 cups BBQ Sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ recommended)
  • 1/2 medium onion, grated with juice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the BBQ Sauce: In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine the BBQ sauce, grated onion with its juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to blend all ingredients into a smooth sauce.
  2. Add and Coat Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker and turn them in the sauce to ensure they are completely coated with the flavorful BBQ mixture.
  3. Slow Cook the Chicken: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high heat for 2 to 3 hours or on low heat for 6 to 7 hours. Check for doneness earlier if using smaller chicken pieces or a smaller batch, as cooking times can vary. The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165˚F and is tender enough to shred easily.
  4. Shred the Chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts and place them on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Mix and Serve: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir well to coat with the BBQ sauce. Serve hot as is or in buns with coconut coleslaw and dill pickle chips for a delicious sandwich.

Notes

  • This recipe requires minimal prep — just combine everything in the slow cooker and let it cook.
  • The chicken turns out fall-apart tender, juicy, and packed with flavor.
  • Perfect for serving on its own, in sandwiches, or over rice or salads.
  • Try pairing with a fresh coconut coleslaw and dill pickle chips for a classic BBQ combo.
