Tender, juicy Crockpot BBQ Pulled Chicken is slow-cooked with onions, garlic, and a simple spice rub, then tossed with plenty of sweet and smoky barbecue sauce. Perfect for sandwiches, sliders, tacos, nachos, baked potatoes, and easy family dinners.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 (1/2 inch thick) slices of onion,
• 1-2 large cloves garlic, (peeled and whole)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar (packed)
• 4 (6-8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups prepared barbecue sauce

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the sliced onions and garlic (1-2 cloves) to the bottom of a slow cooker and pour in chicken stock (1/2 cup).
2. 2In a small bowl, mix together the spice mix until evenly combined.
3. 3Pat chicken breast (4) with paper towels to remove any excess moisture from the packaging.
4. 4Generously sprinkle both sides of the chicken evenly with the spice mixture (you may have some leftovers). Gently press the spice mixture onto the chicken to help it adhere.
5. 5Lay chicken, in a single layer, over onions. Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or 8-10 on low, or until chicken is tender. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
6. 6Set a sieve over a heat-proof mixing bowl and pour the onion-liquid mixture into the sieve. Place the drained onion mixture on a cutting board and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces. Return the chopped onions to the crockpot and discard the liquids.
7. 7Using 2 forks shred the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir to combine with the onion mixture.
8. 8Add prepared BBQ sauce (2 cups) and combine to chicken mixture. Cover the crockpot, turn on high, and heat just until warm through. Serve.
