BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Submitted by buttercup0009

"This recipe called for pork, which I don't like, so I decided to use chicken instead. To my surprise, it turned out really well. My husband actually liked it! Use your judgement on the consistency. I periodically checked on the barbeque a few times throughout the day and stirred it a little. I'd love to hear from anyone who tries this recipe. Hope you enjoy!"

This was wonderful. I used KC Masterpiece Spicy Original BBQ sauce (my favorate). The green peppers really add to the flavor of the chicken. I found that my crockpot needed less cooking time, but it is a smaller one. This was also a snap to prepare. I paired a sandwich with a nice crisp green salad with reduced fat blue cheese dressing. YUM! Thanks for posting

Chicken breasts and slow cookers just don't seem to work well together in my humble opinion. Sorry, buttercup.

I really liked this. We cooked it a little too long in the crockpot and it was sticking in the bottom, but it was still very good.
