Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the blackberry preserves, barbecue sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Add Chicken to Crockpot: Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the Crockpot.
Pour Sauce Over Chicken: Pour the blackberry barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
