Easy, Crock-Pot Barbecue Chicken Breasts

 

Easy, Crock-Pot Barbecue Chicken Breasts
Of all the sauces out there, it seems everyone likes barbecue sauce! I’ve doctored up a bottle by adding some tomato sauce, onions, and Worcestershire sauce. This sauce is wonderful and perfect over chicken.  Serve with baked or mashed potatoes and some kind of vegetable and you’re good to go! Each skinny serving has 231 calories and 3 grams of fat.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Crock-Pot Time: 4 hours

Calories 231kcal

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts (1½ pounds total) boneless, skinless
  • 3 cups onions,  chopped
  • 1 (18 oz.) bottle of barbecue sauce, I like Sweet Baby Ray’s original, Bull’s-eye original or use your favorite
  • 1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  • Place onions in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in the microwave for 3 minutes to soften.
  • Add cooked onions to crock-pot.  Stir in barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Add the chicken breasts and submerged them into the sauce. Cover and cook on high heat for 2 hours or on low heat for 4 hours.

Notes

Makes 6 servings (each serving 1 chicken breast and ¼ cup sauce)

There will be Leftover Sauce

The skinny facts were calculated based on using only ½ the sauce. This recipe uses all the sauce to cook the chicken in the crock-pot. Once cooked, you only use ½ of it to serve over the 6 chicken breasts. There will be 1½ cups leftover. It’s yummy to use some of this extra sauce to mash into a baked potato over drizzle rice.

Gluten-Free
Sweet Baby Ray Original sauce and Lea & Perrins are both gluten-free! Be sure to choose a gluten-free can of tomato sauce.
