Method
 

Step‑by‑step Instructions
  1. Begin by laying boneless, skinless chicken thighs evenly on the bottom of your slow cooker. Ensure no pieces overlap and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine peach preserves, barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended into a vibrant sauce.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce generously over the chicken in the slow cooker. Optionally, add fresh peach slices on top. Cover and set to LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until tender.
  4. Once cooking is finished, carefully remove the lid and let the chicken cool slightly. Shred the chicken in the slow cooker with two forks, mixing with the sauce.
  5. Serve your Slow Cooker Peach BBQ Chicken over creamy mashed potatoes, fluffy rice, or in sandwiches. Garnish with chopped parsley or sliced green onions for added flavor.
