Ingredients

  • 600 g chicken breast
  • 300 ml homemade bbq sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the chicken breasts in the slow cooker dish.
  2. Pour the BBQ sauce on top of the chicken breasts and mix.
  3. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours.
  4. Using two forks, shred the chicken and mix it all together.

Notes

  • Add some extra flavour and texture to the slow cooker pulled chicken by putting some diced onion at the bottom of the slow cooker before you put the chicken breasts in.
  • We have shredded the chicken, but you could always take the chicken breasts out and chop them and then add them back in to the bowl with the BBQ sauce.
  • Serve the shredded chicken on rice, or use it as the filling for burritos and tacos. You could even put it on a pizza or salad.
  • This BBQ chicken freezes well if you have some leftovers. Just pop it in a container and it will keep in the freezer for up to a month.
  • You can save yourself time by using store bought BBQ sauce. If you use ready made sauce a little paprika, garlic and onion powder to it to jazz it up a little.
  • You don’t have to shred the chicken, you could chop it in to chunks or serve the breasts whole if not using in tacos. But being cooked on high for 4 hours will mean that the chicken starts to fall apart.
  • We like to make this a little bit spicy and add some chipotle paste to the BBQ sauce.
