Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds chicken breast (about 4 medium breasts)
- 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (gluten free)
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing (gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (gluten free)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Step: Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker. Pour the Italian dressing evenly over the chicken.
- Step: In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and spices.
- Step: Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken. Turn the chicken breasts to coat evenly in the sauce. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours, or until chicken is cooked through.
