Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

I really like my dinners to be simple. I still want them to taste like I slaved over the stove cooking for hours, but I want them realistically to take me thirty minutes tops. These Crockpot Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches came out SO well, I just had to share the recipe with you guys!

Plus, see the pickles on that sandwich above? Those or my favorite pickles ever, and I made them MYSELF! Seriously, the flavor is perfect. They’re so easy! You too can make these easy beginner refrigerator pickles!

Instructions

There’s not much to the prep or recipe, because like I said earlier, this is a really simple recipe. For the BBQ sauce, I usually use Sweet Baby Ray’s when I’m in a hurry. But, If you want a good homemade barbecue sauce to put in this recipe, you should make my Daddy’s Barbecue Sauce.

1. Heat – Set your crockpot on high and place four frozen chicken breasts into the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Add – Pour the barbecue sauce and brown sugar on top of the chicken breasts. Coarsely chop the onion into chunks and add them on top of the chicken as well.
3. Cook – Let them cook on high for 3-4 hours, or 6-7 hours on low.
4. Shred – Once the full time has elapsed, use a fork, or metal tongs, and shred the chicken and onions. Mix the sauce, chicken, and onions together well.
5. Enjoy – Serve immediately on large sandwich buns, and top with pickles if desired.
