Ingredients

4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs
2 cups Kansas City style barbecue sauce
1 medium onion minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Add barbecue sauce, onion, tomato paste, Worcestershire Sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to a small crock pot and stir to combine. I use a 3-quart crock pot.
Add chicken and spoon a little of the sauce over the top.
Cook on high for 3-3½ hours or until it shreds easily with a couple of forks.
Season with salt and pepper to taste

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave at reduced power.
Double the recipe and freeze half of it for up to 2 months. Completely cool the dish and spoon it into a zipper freezer bag, removing as much of the air as possible. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
