Want all the taste of a traditional barbecue with the convenience of a one-pot meal?
This slow cooker version of barbecue chicken, roasted potatoes, and corn on the cob is a family pleaser. And because it's cooked indoors, it's the perfect solution for those afternoons when the weather makes firing up the grill nearly impossible or your family is running from summer activity to activity and simply wants to come home to a great home-cooked meal.
The prep is simple (less than 15 minutes) but the results taste like you've slaved over the grill for hours!
Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken and Sides
- Boneless, skinless chicken breast (one per person)
- Your favorite BBQ sauce
- 4-6 russet potatoes, washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- Olive oil
- A handful of shredded cheddar cheese
- Corn on the cob (fresh or frozen, each cob cut in half if not already)
- Butter
- Salt & pepper
Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker with a 1/2 cup of water. Drizzle with just a bit BBQ sauce — enough to just moisten them.
Toss chopped potatoes with a bit of olive oil and the cheddar cheese. Pull a large piece of aluminum foil off the roll and place the potatoes in the center. Fold in the top and bottom and roll the sides in, creating an "envelope." Place the potato packet on top of the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
Spread each corn cob with butter, season with salt and pepper, and wrap each one individually in a piece of aluminum foil. Place on top of the potato packet in the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours. Unwrap the corn and potatoes and place in serving dishes. Serve the chicken with additional BBQ sauce for dipping.
Enjoy the flavors of your traditional BBQ dinner knowing that clean up will be a breeze!
