Description

Deliciously tender peach BBQ pulled chicken sliders made in a slow cooker. This easy recipe combines sweet peach preserves and tangy BBQ sauce with spices to create a flavorful pulled chicken perfect for sliders, topped with optional coleslaw for added crunch and freshness.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To Serve

  • Slider buns
  • Coleslaw (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker, arranging them evenly to ensure even cooking.
  2. Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the peach preserves, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add the sauce: Pour the peach BBQ sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, ensuring the chicken is well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Cook the chicken: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours. Cook until the chicken is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  5. Shred the chicken: Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the slow cooker and shred them using two forks until you have fine pulled chicken pieces.
  6. Combine chicken and sauce: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and mix thoroughly with the remaining sauce to evenly coat the meat.
  7. Serve: Spoon the pulled chicken onto slider buns and top with coleslaw if desired for added texture and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
  • Coleslaw is optional but adds a refreshing crunch that complements the sweetness of the peach BBQ sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can cook the chicken in a covered pan on low heat for about 2 hours, occasionally stirring.
