If you’re looking for an easy and delicious family dinner, this Slow Cooker Barbecue Chicken and Cornbread recipe is definitely worth trying!
I enjoy using my free weekly meal plans for quick dinner ideas and loving the slow cooker recipes on the list. This chicken recipe is adapted from week 7 in the meal plans.
I’m not a big barbecue chicken fan, but this blend of vegetables and chicken with the cornbread is rather addicting. Because it’s such an easy recipe, that makes me like it even more!

Serve the barbecue chicken and cornbread with a salad for a fast and easy comforting meal. The chicken turns out very moist and it’s hard to stop eating. Enjoy this recipe!

Why not just add the water with the sauce and stir it all just once?
