Variations & Tips
For a touch of heat, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the BBQ sauce. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try using smoked paprika or a smoky BBQ sauce. You can also add sliced onions or bell peppers to the slow cooker for extra flavor and texture. For an alternative protein, swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs or even pork tenderloin.
