These wonderful Crock Pot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are quite simple to put together and require minimal ingredients. Not only are they easy to make, but they taste fabulous. My whole family loves them. The shredded chicken has a saucy, slightly zesty, smokey flavor that is ever so tasty. Serve them on a sesame seed bun with a nice slice of Swiss or provolone cheese and dinner will be a happy occasion.

I like to serve them with Crispy Parmesan Oven Fries and Watermelon chunks.

I’ve included instructions for both the Crock Pot and the Instant Pot!

Hope you enjoy!

Let me show you how to make it happen…

4. Place 6 chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds) in to a 4 quart crock pot. Pour the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3 1/2-4 hours, depending on how quickly your crock pot cooks.

5. When the chicken has cooked through and easily falls apart…

Remove it from the crock pot and place it on a plate.

Shred it up with two forks.

Then place it back into the crock pot and give everything a nice stir, allowing the chicken to get well coated.

Serve on Hamburger buns with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese.

Enjoy!
