Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the peach BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking. Consider adding some chopped onions or bell peppers to the slow cooker for added texture and taste. If you prefer thicker sauce, remove the chicken once cooked and simmer the sauce in the skillet for a few minutes until it reduces.
