Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken. Add your chicken breasts to the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle evenly with paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and a little cayenne pepper.
  • Add sauce. Pour the BBQ sauce plus 1/4 cup water over the top. Give everything a quick toss so the chicken is well coated.
  • Slow cook. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours until the chicken is tender and easily pulls apart.
  • Shred and mix. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the crock pot using two forks. Stir well to coat in all that delicious BBQ sauce.
