Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Breasts

Lucas LOVED this chicken, and really enjoyed the sauce (especially the dipping part! Dip makes everything better!). I served it with cheesy mashed potatoes and green beans from our local Farmer's Market.

The Recipe

1. Coat the bottom of the Crock Pot with BBQ Sauce (I used about a cup of Sweet Baby Ray's Original sauce, and just eyeballed the amount)
2. Mix a tablespoon of brown sugar with a tablespoon of cider vinegar in a measuring cup and whisk into BBQ Sauce.
3. Add the Chicken Breasts (or whatever cut of chicken you happen to have on hand), with bone-side down in the sauce.
4. Sprinkle Chicken with Montreal Steak Seasoning and Ranch Seasoning (I used about half of a Hidden Valley brand dry ranch packet for 2 breasts)
5. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours
6. Wash, core, and dice apples (I used one peeled Gala apple per breast).
7. Uncover, baste chicken with BBQ sauce from the pot. Add apples.
8. Cover and cook for 3 more hours (or until chicken is cooked through), basting every hour.
9. Before serving, reduce sauce by removing one cup, and simmering on the stovetop for 10 minutes or until desired consistency.
10. Remove Chicken and apples from Crock Pot, place in individual serving dishes.
11. Pour reduced sauce over chicken, and serve with extra sauce for dipping!
