Ingredients

2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
nonstick cooking spray
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
2/7 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp seedless blackberry preserves
2 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
2 tsp liquid smoke

Steps

Whisk the ketchup, molasses, brown sugar, preserves, vinegar, liquid smoke, paprika, pepper, thyme, and chipotle powder in a bowl.
Coat a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray, add the chicken and sauce, and cook on low for 4 hours until the chicken reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a foil-lined broiler pan and pour the slow cooker sauce into a small saucepan.
Stir the cornstarch and water together, whisk them into the sauce, and simmer for 3 minutes until thickened.
Brush the chicken with sauce and broil 4 inches from the heat for 5 minutes, turning once, then serve with the remaining sauce.
