Slow Cooker Root Beer Chicken is a crazy addicting dinner recipe! Tender, shredded chicken in a root beer flavored barbecue sauce!
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1 cup root beer
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (we like a sweeter sauce, like a brown sugar)
Instructions
- Spray the inside of a 6-8 quart slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and dry mustard and place into the slow cooker.
- Whisk the root beer and barbecue sauce together in a bowl and then pour over the chicken breasts.
- Cook on low for 4-5 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Check to make sure the chicken is fork tender and then remove the chicken from the slow cooker. Shred chicken and then place back into slow cooker, mixing together with the sauce.
- Cook the chicken on high, uncovered, for 30-60 minutes to thicken the sauce and infuse the flavors of the sauce into the chicken.
