Instructions

1. Combine all sauce ingredients (BBQ sauce, grated onion with juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar) in a 5-6 quart slow cooker. Stir well.

2. Add the chicken breasts to the slow cooker and turn to coat them evenly with the sauce.

3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH setting for 2 to 3 hours, or on LOW setting for 6 to 7 hours. Cooking time may vary.

4. Check for doneness: Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and shreds easily.

5. Carefully remove the cooked chicken to a cutting board.

6. Shred the chicken using two forks.

7. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to coat with the sauce.

Notes

💧 Add a splash of water when reheating leftovers to help retain moisture and prevent the chicken from drying out.
🍯 Consider using a sugar-free BBQ sauce for a lower-calorie version without sacrificing flavor.
📏 If doubling the recipe, ensure the slow cooker has sufficient capacity and extend the cooking time as needed to ensure thorough cooking.
