Easy and Tasty Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches in the Crock Pot image

This is almost too easy to be called a recipe, but I had to share it anyway. I came up with it one night when I wanted a nice meal but wasn't feeling too motivated. I love Crock-Pot cooking!

Time 8h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 -2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 (18 ounce) jar of your favorite barbecue sauce (I love K.C. Masterpiece!)
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
4 -6 hamburger buns

Steps:

Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot.
Place the onion slices on top of the chicken.
Pour the barbecue sauce over top.
You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken.
Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender.
Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns.
Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that way.
Voila!
An easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime!
I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.

Categories Chicken

Time 8h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 whole chicken, cut up
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

Place chicken in crock pot.
Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken.
Cook 8-10 hours on low.

Tips:

For a smokier flavor, use a smoky barbecue sauce.
If you don't have a crock pot, you can also cook the chicken in a Dutch oven over low heat for 6-8 hours.
Make sure to brown the chicken before cooking it in the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
For a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry to the crock pot 30 minutes before the chicken is finished cooking. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

Crock pot barbecue chicken is an easy and delicious way to feed your family. It's perfect for a busy weeknight meal or a casual weekend gathering.
