→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 pounds (4 large) boneless skinless chicken breasts, room temperature
02 - 1½ cups Sweet Baby Ray's Original barbecue sauce, divided
03 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
04 - ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

01 - Add boneless skinless chicken breasts to a 4-5 quart crockpot slow cooker in a single layer.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, light brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes.
03 - Pour sauce over chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring all chicken is evenly coated. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F and is tender.
04 - Remove lid and add remaining ½ cup barbecue sauce, spreading over the top of the chicken.
05 - With lid removed, turn setting to HIGH and cook uncovered for 30-45 minutes until sauce has thickened.
06 - Turn off heat, remove chicken and place onto a serving plate. Garnish with finely chopped parsley if desired.

02 - Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature
03 - The final 30-45 minute cook without lid helps thicken the sauce
