Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by patting dry the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with paper towels. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a single layer at the bottom of your crockpot.
  4. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring that each piece is fully coated.
  5. Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
  6. Once done, carefully remove the chicken using tongs. Shred using two forks, returning to the crockpot.
  7. Spoon the shredded chicken onto plates and serve hot over rice, in sandwich buns, or in salads.
