Time 4h5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -6 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed to avoid food borne illness)
1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's)

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients except chicken.
  • Put chicken in the crock pot and pour sauce mixture over it. (I usually save some sauce to drizzle over the chicken when I serve it).

Tips:

- For a thicker barbecue sauce, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to the slow cooker before adding the chicken. - To make the chicken more tender, marinate it in the barbecue sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. - If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the chicken in a Dutch oven over low heat for 6-8 hours. - Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.

Slow cooker barbecue chicken breast is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights.
