Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

  •  2 cups bottled BBQ Sauce (we like Sweet Baby Rays)
  •  ½ cup finely chopped white onion (or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder)
  •  1 teaspoon garlic powder
  •  ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  •  Seasoned salt & ground pepper to taste
  •  2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Ingredients for Sandwiches

  •  8 buns (brioche or hamburger buns)
  •  2 cups coleslaw (with or without dressing)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place the chicken in the bottom of a 6-8 quart slow cooker. Add sauce, fully covering the chicken.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or high for 2-3 hours. 
  4. Shred with two forks in the slow cooker, or on a cutting board.
  5. Return the chicken to the slow cooker and mix with sauce. Cook on low for 30-60 minutes.
  6. If making sandwiches, serve with toasted buns and coleslaw.

Notes

Onion and spices can be omitted, just be sure to use a good flavorful BBQ sauce that you love!This recipe is easy to adjust to the desired quantity. A good general rule to follow is 1 cup sauce per pound of chicken
