Ingredients

  • 1 kg boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 fresh apple (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
  • For the sauce:
  • 250 ml BBQ sauce
  • 60 grams brown sugar
  • 60 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

  3. 3

    Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. The chicken should be tender and easy to shred.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If a thicker sauce is preferred, let it simmer on low heat with the lid off for a few more minutes.
