Ingredients
 

  • 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 12 - 16 oz bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce (We used Sweet Baby Ray's)
  • 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
  • 8 buns
  • Sliced or shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix barbecue sauce, dressing, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and onion.
  • Place chicken in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour sauce mixture over top.
  • Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-8 hours.
  • Remove chicken from pot and shred, using two forks to pull chicken pieces apart.
  • Place chicken back in pot, mix with sauce and serve on buns with cheddar cheese.

Notes

  • I like to slow cook these on the lower end of the cooking windows so the chicken is very tender and pulls apart easily. Cooking the chicken longer won't be harmful at all, but the texture will get mushier if it cooks too long.
  • Feel free to add a chopped bell pepper to up the veggies in this.
