Tender and flavorful slow cooker pulled chicken made with simple ingredients, perfect for sandwiches, tacos, or salads.
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
In a small bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and place it on a large plate or cutting board.
Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the sauce.
Cook on low for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the pulled chicken warm on buns, tortillas, or over a salad.
