Main Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1.5 cups BBQ Sauce
  • 0.25 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth.
  • Place the chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your slow cooker.
  • Pour the prepared BBQ mixture over the chicken, covering it completely.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2–3 hours or on low for 4–6 hours until the chicken is tender and shreds easily.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks, either directly in the slow cooker or on a plate. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce.
  • Stir to coat the shredded chicken fully in the sauce.
  • Serve it in sandwiches, tacos, bowls, or however you prefer.

Notes

  • Use thicker BBQ sauce for better adherence to the chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken to prevent dryness.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Leftovers can be stored for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
