Slow Cooker Zesty BBQ Chicken Sliders


  • Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 sliders 1x

Description

Tender, flavorful chicken cooked low and slow in a zesty BBQ sauce, served on soft slider buns for the perfect party appetizer or easy meal.


Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup zesty barbecue sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 slider buns
8 slices dill pickle
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese


Instructions

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, chicken broth, chopped onion, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the chicken is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks.
Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir to coat evenly with the sauce.
To assemble the sliders, place a generous scoop of the shredded BBQ chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun.
Top each with a slice of dill pickle and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the top half of the slider bun on each and serve immediately.
