Sunshine Chicken

This recipe came from my mother. Besides my grandmother, Mom, my mother is one of the best cooks I know! Whether she spends all day cooking or simply whipping something up from things she has on hand, her meals are always delicious and comforting. I make many of her recipes, but they never quite taste as good as when she makes it. This chicken is one of the EASIEST chicken recipes you will ever make. It's only 3 ingredients-chicken breast, bbq sauce, and orange juice. Throw it all in the crockpot and let it cook! It's that simple.

1. Either lightly spray or line your crockpot with a slowcooker liner. Lay 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the bottom.

2. Cover chicken with 1 c.(about half a bottle) bbq sauce. We love the Jack Daniels brand, but any kind would work.

3. Pour in 1/4 c. orange juice. Stir the sauce around so that the chicken breasts are covered.

4. Cook on low for about 5 hours or on high about 3 hrs*. Right before you serve it, lightly shred the chicken. Not so much that it's like pulled pork, but enough so that you have smaller pieces that can soak up all that juice.
*Note: Some slow-cookers cook at different rates. Mine tends to cook a little fast, so adjust cooking times depending on your machine.
