Description

An easy, go-to Crock Pot BBQ Chicken recipe for easy weeknights. Serve in tacos, as a sandwich or just eat plain with some coleslaw!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 1/2 cup bbq sauce, divided

Instructions

  1. Prep Crock Pot: Place chicken breasts in the crock pot and pour 1 cup bbq sauce over top.
  2. Cook: Cover and cook on HIGH 3-4 hours or LOW 6-8 hours.
  3. Shred: Once chicken is done cooking, shred with two forks. The sauce will be thinned out due to the heat, but as it cools and you mix the shredded chicken around, it will thicken back up. Add the additional 1/2 cup bbq sauce (or more if you want); stir to combine.
  4. Serve: Enjoy any way you want – we love making a BBQ Chicken Sandwich!

Notes

  • BBQ Sauce: highly recommend making our easy homemade bbq sauce, but you can use any of your favorite store-bought sauces too!
  • Paleo/Whole30: we recommend this Whole30 compliant BBQ sauce – so good!
  • Storage: leftover BBQ chicken can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and then reheat.
