Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken – Easy, Flavorful & Tender!

🕒 Prep Time: 5 minutes

🕒 Cook Time: 2.5–3 hours (high) or 5–6 hours (low)

🕒 Total Time: 2.5–6 hours

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (fat trimmed)
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1¼ cups barbecue sauce
• ½ cup Italian dressing
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ cup light brown sugar (can reduce to ⅛ cup or omit for less sweetness)

Step-by-Step Instructions (Detailed):

1. Prep your crockpot:
   Spray the inside of your slow cooker with non-stick spray (or use a liner for easy cleanup).
2. Season the chicken:
   Place trimmed chicken breasts into the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Mix the sauce:
   In a bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add sauce to crockpot:
   Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
5. Cook:
   Cover and cook on high for 2.5–3 hours or low for 5–6 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F internally. 🕒
6. Shred the chicken:
   Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the crockpot so it soaks up all that rich, tangy BBQ sauce. 😋
7. Serve and enjoy:
   Serve on buns for classic BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches or try it on tacos, nachos, salads, pizza, or rice!

Pro Tips:

• Make it ahead: Great for meal prep! Store shredded chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• Freeze for later: Portion into freezer bags for easy weeknight meals.
• Swap sauces: Try spicy BBQ or smoky chipotle sauces for a flavor twist.
