  • 3 - 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 can (or bottle) of light beer
  • 1 bottle (18 ounces)  Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce (or your favorite)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Mix seasonings in a small bowl and rub onto chicken, coating both sides. Place chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with the BBQ sauce and beer. Cover and cook on high for 3 – 4 hours or Low for 4 – 6 hours or until chicken pulls apart. NOTE: I cooked mine for 5.5 hours on low, shredded the chicken, and then let it cook for one more hour.
