Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I usually place the chicken breasts into the slow cooker first. I find that this method helps trap moisture better throughout the cooking process. Next, I mix together the Dr Pepper, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl. This sauce is truly the star of the show—it’s sweet, spicy, and a bit tangy! Once mixed, I pour it over the chicken and make sure it’s all coated well. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
