Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup BBQ sauce (preferably smoky flavor)

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 medium onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

4 hamburger buns or slider rolls

Optional toppings: coleslaw, pickles, sliced jalapeños

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, chili powder, and cayenne pepper if using. Place the seasoned chicken in the slow cooker.

    Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, chicken broth, diced onion, minced garlic, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

      Combine: Pour the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well coated in the sauce.

        Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat. Cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

          Shred the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker, mixing it with the remaining sauce to evenly coat.

            Serve: Toast the hamburger buns or slider rolls if desired. Pile the BBQ pulled chicken onto the buns and top with coleslaw, pickles, or sliced jalapeños for added flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and watch your family and friends delight in this flavorful dish!
