Sweet Baby Ray’s Crockpot Chicken is a no-fuss, flavorful dish made with tender chicken breasts slow-cooked in rich, smoky BBQ sauce. It’s juicy, easy to shred, and perfect for sandwiches, rice bowls, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bottle (18 oz) Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  2. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, mix BBQ sauce with apple cider vinegar and brown sugar (if using), then pour over chicken.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until chicken is very tender.
  5. Shred chicken with two forks directly in the slow cooker and stir to coat with sauce.
  6. Let sit for 10–15 minutes before serving to absorb flavor.

Notes
