Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 breasts
  • 12 oz BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional

Instructions

  • Place chicken into the bottom of the slow cooker and pour sauces over top.
  • Set to low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours (6 hours on low is perfect in my Crock-Pot).
  • When done, remove chicken breasts and set aside.
  • (OPTIONAL) In a small bowl or mug, dissolve cornstarch in about ¼ cup of liquid from the slow cooker. Pour cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on high for 20-30 minutes.
  • Shred chicken using two forks and return to the slow cooker. Mix well and serve.
