Description
Tender, saucy pulled chicken cooked in a slow cooker, perfect for sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs (about 900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Layer the sliced onion and minced garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place chicken breasts on top and season with salt and pepper.
- Pour barbecue sauce and chicken broth over the chicken to coat well.
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours until tender.
- Shred the chicken with two forks and mix with the sauce and onions.
- Adjust seasoning and serve immediately.
Notes
Use half chicken breasts and half thighs for moister results. For a spicier profile, use smoky chipotle barbecue sauce or add smoked paprika and cayenne. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3–4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
