As soon as the party was about to start, I checked the slow cooker and this BBQ pulled chicken was done just as I had hoped it would be. All I had to do was shred it all up and set out some buns. Some people made a sandwich with theirs while others ate it as is. The flavor was super tasty and the entire pan was cleaned right out by the end of the day. My boy had a great birthday too so it was a win for everyone.
Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Cravings Of A Lunatic:
“This is perfect for weeknight dinners, or on busy weekends. Set it and forget it recipes really do make life easier. Some days are so insanely busy that you just need recipes that are simple.”
There’s nothing better than knowing dinner is already done on those super busy days!
Ingredients
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 sweet onion, diced or cut into large chunks
½ cup Domino brown sugar
¼ cup Kraft Italian dressing
1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce, divided in half (1/2 for cooking, ½ for finishing)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Place chicken in slow cooker.
Toss cut up onions over top of the chicken.
Combine brown sugar, Italian dressing and ½ of the BBQ sauce together in a medium size bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add garlic, honey, and spices. Whisk until combined. Pour over chicken and onions.
Place lid on slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until chicken is tender enough to pull apart with forks.
Use forks to shred the chicken, or use a hand mixer with beaters to shred the meat. This technique works beautifully for shredding pulled meats.
Add remaining sauce to the slow cooker with the meat, and cook just until it heats up. I usually heat it all up in a cast iron pan for a few minutes to really bring it all together and save time. You do whatever works for you. Once it’s hot and well combined you’re good to go. Time to chow down.
Place on slider buns or hamburger buns. Eat it plain or with a slaw. Your choice.
Serve with a big old Pulled BBQ Chicken loving smile!
