Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Pulled Chicken
  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts The star of the show! Tender chicken that shreds beautifully.
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce Choose your favorite brand or homemade for a personal touch.
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth Adds moisture and enhances the flavor of the chicken.
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder A must-have for that savory kick!
  • 1 tsp onion powder Complements the garlic and adds depth to the dish.

Equipment

  • Crock Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by placing the chicken breasts in your trusty crock pot. Spread them out a bit for even cooking.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well.
  3. Step 3: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken in the crock pot, making sure each piece is well coated.
  4. Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred.
  5. Step 5: Once cooked, use two forks to shred the chicken right in the pot and stir it into the sauce. Serve on buns, in tacos, or over rice.
