Ingredients
- •Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless(1361g)
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
- •BBQ Sauce(360g)
Any BBQ sauce. Sweet Baby Ray's is a go-to. Check sugar content if cutting.
Instructions
- 1Lay chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker, and pour the bbq sauce on top. Toss once to combine so that the chicken is evenly coated in the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and shreds easily.
- 2Use two forks to shred the chicken in the slow cooker, and toss it once more so that it soaks up the remaining juices.
- 3Serve chicken on buns or however you would like, drizzled with some extra bbq sauce if desired.
