CROCKPOT SHREDDED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Line your crockpot with a slow cooker liner.
• Add all ingredients and stir until well incorporated.
• Cook on high for one hour. Continue cooking on low for at least 3 more hours.
• Serve hot on buns.

PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
• Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
• Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
• Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
• When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
• Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
• Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

SLOW-COOKER SHREDDED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Lay the chicken breasts in an even layer in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Add the broth, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon peel and bay leaf if using. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
• Transfer the cooked chicken to a large bowl. Use 2 forks to pull it into shreds. Strain the cooking broth and drizzle about 1/2 cup over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. If not using the chicken immediately, refrigerate it in an airtight container. Refrigerate the remaining cooking broth separately and use it to moisten the chicken when serving. Or add it to soups and sauces.
• Buffalo: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons Buffalo-style hot sauce. Drizzle over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.
• Lemon Herb: Drizzle 2 cups shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of the cooking broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Season with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Barbecue: Warm 1/4 cup of the cooking broth in a small saucepan and whisk in 1/4 cup barbecue sauce. Pour over 2 cups shredded chicken and toss well.

SLOW COOKER BUFFALO CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts into a slow cooker, and pour in 3/4 of the wing sauce and the ranch dressing mix. Cover, and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours.
• Once the chicken has cooked, add the butter, and shred the meat finely with two forks. Pile the meat onto the hoagie rolls, and splash with the remaining buffalo wing sauce to serve.

EASY AND TASTY BARBECUE CHICKEN SANDWICHES IN THE CROCK POT

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.
