Slow Cooker Peach BBQ Sauce Chicken

5-ingredient EASY slow cooker meal with tender chicken breasts coated in a sticky sweet peach barbeque sauce. You don’t get easier than this!

This Crockpot Chicken with a Sweet and Smokey Peach Barbecue Sauce is one of the easiest dinners to throw together when time isn’t on your side.

This recipe came out of the need for a flavorful and easy dinner recipe. I went into the pantry one morning and stared at the plethora of bottles on my shelves. Sometimes, it looks like a grocery store in my kitchen and that’s the way I like it. I started looking around thinking about what I needed to use and what would pair nicely together. Since Dean is a “jam fanatic,” there were jars of jam lining our shelves. Since everything peach is on my mind right now since they are in season, I decided to combine a sweet peach jam and a smoky barbecue sauce and pour it on some chicken. Everyone wanted seconds and it became an instant hit!

Does it get easier than that? I was going to stop at 3-ingredient Chicken but decided to add a few more flavors. This Slow Cooker Chicken with Sweet Peach BBQ sauce starts off with chicken lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper. The peach bbq sauce is made with peach jam or peach preserves, your favorite barbecue sauce, a touch of mustard, and red chili flakes for a little spice, if you like it that way. You can even use spicy BBQ sauce and then it becomes 4-ingredient Chicken!

How long does it take to cook this Crockpot Chicken with Peach BBQ Sauce?

This depends on the thickness of the chicken breasts. If they are normal thick chicken breasts, cook the chicken low and slow for about 4 hours. If you are using thinly sliced chicken breasts, cook for approximately 3 hours or until the temperature in the center of the breast reaches at least 165 degrees. After chicken is fully cooked, shred chicken, and pour on remaining peach bbq glaze all over top.

Can I use Frozen Chicken Breasts?

Yes. You can use frozen or fresh chicken breasts with this recipe. The frozen will take a little longer to cook in the slow cooker crockpot.ย  The frozen breasts will also release liquid. I would recommend cooking the frozen chicken breasts for about 1 hour to release some of the liquids. Drain the water and then cover the chicken breasts with half of the sweet peach bbq glaze for the remainder of the cooking time.

Can this Chicken with Peach Barbeque Sauce be cooked in the oven?

Absolutely! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken breasts. Spread half of the sweet peach bbq glaze all over the chicken. Cover and cook for approximately 30 minutes or until the center of the chicken breasts reaches at least 165 degrees. Remove cover and brush on the remaining sweet peach barbecue sauce all over the chicken.
