Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Food

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.
