BBQ Chicken sandwiches in the crock pot

My family does not always have the time to prepare a meal for dinner. This is an easy way to still have a nice meal that only takes about ten minutes!




Ingredients:

Servings:4-6
Units: US | Metric

Directions:

  1. Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot.
     
  2. Place the onion slices on top of the chicken.
     
  3. Pour the barbecue sauce over top.
     
  4. You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken.
     
  5. Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender
    .
  6. Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns.
     
  7. Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that
    way

I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.This is an easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime! YUMMMM
