Description

This Crock Pot Chicken in Alabama White Sauce is a simple and flavorful slow-cooked dish featuring tender boneless skinless chicken breasts simmered in a tangy, creamy white BBQ sauce. Perfect for an easy weeknight meal or casual gatherings, the chicken becomes juicy and flavorful, enriched by the unique Alabama white sauce which combines mayonnaise, vinegar, and spices for a distinct Southern twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 3 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

Alabama White BBQ Sauce

  • 1 (16-oz) bottle White BBQ Sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a 6-quart slow cooker. Season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  2. Add the Sauce and Cook: Pour the entire 16-ounce bottle of Alabama white barbecue sauce evenly over the chicken. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on LOW heat for approximately 6 hours (360 minutes). The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165ºF, indicating it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  3. Shred the Chicken: After cooking, carefully remove the chicken breasts from the crock pot and place them on a large plate or cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, ensuring it is tender and well shredded.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and stir thoroughly to coat all the pieces in the Alabama white sauce. This step allows the flavors to blend beautifully. Serve hot, as a main dish or over sandwiches, rice, or salad.

Notes

  • The Alabama white sauce can be homemade with mayonnaise, vinegar, horseradish, and seasonings if a store-bought option is unavailable.
  • For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the white sauce before cooking.
  • Using chicken thighs instead of breasts can make the dish juicier and more flavorful.
  • The slow cooker keeps the chicken moist and tender, but you can also use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
