Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your crockpot by lightly coating the interior with non-stick spray or using a liner.
  2. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Italian dressing, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar until combined. Pour it over the chicken in the crockpot.
  4. Cover the crockpot and set to cook on high for 2.5 to 3 hours or low for 5 to 6 hours. Check the chicken's internal temperature at 2 hours to ensure it reaches 165°F.
  5. Carefully shred the chicken directly in the crockpot using two forks and stir gently to combine with sauce before serving.
