Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup coca cola
1 ½ cups barbecue sauce
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon mustard powder
3 teaspoons garlic minced
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a 6-quart slow cooker, add Coca-Cola, barbecue sauce, onion powder, mustard powder, garlic, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place chicken in sauce and toss to coat.
Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 2½-3½ hours.
Shred chicken with two forks in the slow cooker and mix into the sauce.
Serve on your favorite buns and enjoy!

Notes

Try using different cuts of chicken for saucy cola chicken wings or drumsticks. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the chicken. 165* Fahrenheit is the temperature of fully cooked chicken.
Use a stand mixer and paddle attachment on low to shred the chicken in less than a minute. Don’t over-shred, or it will turn mushy!
