Ingredients
- 2 lbs. chicken breast (or thighs)
- 12 oz. peach preserves or jam (1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (add more if desired)
- 1/2 tsp mustard (hot brown or your preferred variety)
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
- Salt + pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken:
Place chicken breasts or thighs in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for seasoning. - Make the Peach Barbecue Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix peach preserves, barbecue sauce, mustard, and red chili flakes (if using) until well combined. - Cook the Chicken:
Pour half of the peach barbecue glaze over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. - Shred and Glaze:
Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks directly in the slow cooker. Pour the remaining glaze over the shredded chicken and mix to coat evenly. - Serve:
Serve warm with creamy Parmesan mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Adjusting Sauce: For a saucier dish, add an additional 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Using less BBQ sauce allows the peach flavor to shine more.
- Mustard Tip: Hot brown mustard enhances the tangy flavor, but feel free to use any mustard variety based on your preference.
- Optional Heat: Add red chili flakes for a mild kick, or leave them out for a sweeter glaze.
