This is another great crock pot recipe. I adapted this slow cooker barbecue chicken from a recipe I found on allrecipes.com . This is so easy and so tasty. I used Bull’s-Eye Hickory Smoke barbecue sauce, but any sauce you have will do.
This recipe begins with placing the chicken breasts in your slow cooker. Then pour a mixture of barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce over the chicken. Next, cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.

Once the chicken cooks, you shred it and then mix in some more barbecue sauce. You can also mix in some of the cooking liquid until it reaches the consistency you want. Serve this flavorful meat on buns. This is a family favorite meal and one we enjoy often. I also use this meat to make my barbecue chicken rice bowls too. They are another essential family meal.
