This recipe is soooo simple. I love it mainly because I can throw in frozen chicken, leave it and not worry about dinner that night. And it tastes great! Coupled with some coleslaw and baked beans, serve over a baked potato or even rice, this is a great recipe your whole family will love. Seriously. Bobby Flay's coleslaw is a nice, tangy addition to any shredded chicken or pork sandwich. We made it for our Super Bowl party this year too, and it was a big hit.
BBQ Chicken, Slow Cooker style
Recipe from allrecipes
Yield: Serves 6-8
--6 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
--1 (12 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (NOT cheap BBQ sauce, we prefer Sweet Baby Ray's)
--1/2 cup Italian salad dressing **
--1/4 cup brown sugar
--2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
**I did not have Italian dressing so I just added about 1/4 cup olive oil, couple tablespoons red-wine vinegar, some Mrs. Dash, 1/8 tsp smoked paprika, salt, and some garlic powder.
Throw all ingredients, except chicken, into a small bowl. Whisk together. Set aside. Add chicken to the crock pot. Pour sauce over chicken. Cook for 6-8 hours on LOW. If you have less time, cook 3-5 hours on high. Or start on high, for 2 hours and then reduce to low and cook for 3-4 more. The chicken must be 165 degrees to be safe to eat. Once meat is cooked, remove lid and shred chicken, using two forks and tearing. Keep crock-pot on warm or serve until ready to eat. Serve over rice, baked potato or ciabata roll or hamburger bun with coleslaw.
