Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.

  3. Place the chicken in the crockpot.

  4. Pour the BBQ mixture over the chicken, coating it fully.

  5. Cook on LOW for 4–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until tender.

  6. Shred the chicken with two forks and mix it back into the sauce.

  7. Serve hot over rice, on sandwiches, or with your favorite sides

Notes

You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra juicy results.
Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce if you like a spicy kick.
Leftovers store beautifully for meal prep—up to 4 days in the fridge.
The sauce thickens naturally as the chicken rests.
