Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs of Skinless, Boneless Chicken Breasts
- 18 oz BBQ Sauce (any kind, I use G. Hughes Hickory BBQ Sauce)
Optional Add-Ins:
- 10 oz of Frozen Chopped Bell Peppers
- 1 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
- 1 1/2 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 TB Dried Parsley
Instructions
- Add the raw chicken breasts to your slow cooker or Crockpot.
- Pour the bottle of bbq sauce over the chicken and add in any extra veggies or seasonings you choose to use.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
- Uncover the chicken and serve whole or use two forks to shred the chicken in the sauce before serving.
Notes
- Storage: You can store leftovers or meal-prepped batches of bbq chicken, once cooled, shredding the chicken cools it quicker, in the fridge in a closed container for 4-5 days.
- Freezing: To freeze leftovers, allow the chicken to cool, shredding it helps cool it quicker, and store it in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 4-5 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. If you want to freeze the chicken before cooking, you can add the raw chicken breasts and a bottle of bbq sauce, along with any other additions to a bag and freeze. When ready to use allow it to thaw overnight in the fridge before adding it to your slow cooker.
- Reheating: You can reheat leftovers in the microwave until warmed through, sauteed in a pan on the stove, or warmed in the oven at 350°F in a baking dish until the chicken reaches 165°F.
