Too hot to grill? Try this Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken with Bell Peppers and Onions for an easy dinner on a hot day.
This recipe is a copy from an older recipe I have, which I used pork instead of chicken. This week I have been pressed for time and wanted an easy barbecue chicken recipe and a favorite older barbecue recipe came to mind. If you want to see my pork version of the recipe, you can see it here.
My favorite thing to add for depth of flavor to a lot of my slow cooker recipes is Worcestershire sauce. I always have it on hand, it adds a tangy flavor to this recipe.
You can see in the photos what a great sauce this recipe has. I like to serve this meal over rice, and if you have a rice maker, this entire meal couldn’t be easier.
It’s corn season finally here! Doesn’t corn go great with just about every summer meal?
I think you will enjoy this easy barbecue recipe, no slaving over the hot grill for this one. I’m trying my best to find more summer recipes for y’all, so stay tuned. Have a great week.

Jean says
This recipe has the wrong time to cook in slow cooker.I made it and after 3 hours in crockpot it was overcooked.I used chicken tenders as the recipe calls for.Not recommended .
Sarah Olson says
The longer you cook things the more tender it gets. You probably didn’t cook long enough. The slow cooker barely gets hot at 1.5 hours.
Lynn Geurts says
Should anything be adjusted if using 2# boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead?
Brittany says
Did you ever try this?
Glen C Roberts Jr says
If you put your veggies in for the last hour they will be aldente instead of soft.

Will this dish come out okay if cooked on high for three hours?
Sarah Olson says
I would do 3.5 – 4 hours.

I added broccoli and mushrooms- a bit extra bbq sauce, worcestershire, and soy sauce to make up for the extra veggies. It turned out amazing, I’m in love with this recipe. It will be a new staple for sure. Thank you!
