Working from home (like I do) is quite difficult when BBQ chicken is cooking up in the slow cooker all day long. Oh yes, I can smell the wonderful aroma fill up my house, tempting me to dig in before dinner time arrives. I have to use much self control, yes I do!
I highly recommend this slow cooker BBQ chicken recipe if you’re a busy mom trying to get out the door quickly in the morning and/or if you have no time to cook dinner one night. Simply put chicken breasts in the BBQ sauce, set your slow cooker for four hours, and you’ll come home to a savory, flavorful meal.
I’m not kidding when I say this slow cooker BBQ chicken recipe is made with only TWO ingredients (three if you count water). I don’t know if dinner can get any easier! Best of all, this dish is naturally gluten free (just make sure your BBQ sauce is marked GF), and it can be served a variety of ways… shredded inside a gluten free bun, atop rice or a baked potato, or as a stand alone dish with homemade wavy french fries and sweet peas (like I did).
This recipe is in regular rotation at our house. My 11 year old son requests it all the time so I try to make it at least once per month. Hope you enjoy the ease and deliciousness of this dish as much as we do!
