Sloppy BBQ Chicken

Ephraim helping make the first layer of jello
- cherry on the bottom and orange on the top.

Frozen chicken with BBQ sauce - ready to cook.

All Cooked and ready to shred with forks.

Shredded and ready to serve on bread. You can eat it as an
open (1 piece of bread) or closed sandwich (2 pieces of bread).

YUMMY! Just as easy and quick as the last recipe but a totally different flavor. Since my family isn't too big yet, I didn't make a large amount. So, the recipe is what I used and you can adjust bigger for a larger family. I probably wouldn't make less than this in the crock-pot.

I realized we were practically out of bread, but I didn't want to run to the store after naps and right before dinner in order to buy some bread or buns. So, I quickly mixed up some bread and it's about to go in the oven just in time to come out right before it's time to eat :-).

We are also going to eat these Sloppy BBQ Chicken sandwiches with some 2 layered Jello - always fun to make with the kids in little cups so they chill faster - and some cooked corn on the cob (on sale this week for us at the store down the street). What a fantastic dinner we're going to have tonight....Hope you all can try this out soon. It's gonna be GREAT!!!! I'll have to post later on how the family likes it. We've had this once before but a long time ago and you know how kids can easily change their minds about things.

INGREDIENTS:

2 chicken breasts
3/4 cup BBQ Sauce
(I used Bulls Eye because it's the only BBQ sauce I've come to like so far - you could use any kind you like the best)

RECIPE:

I put the chicken breasts in frozen and spread all the BBQ sauce over the chicken. I cooked it on high for over 3 hours (I would cook it for about 4 if I had more chicken in there). Then I forked the cooked chicken and mixed it around in the sauce to make a Sloppy Joe type chicken mess.

  1. Looks yummy. I have a hard time shredding chicken with forks for some reason (it's a handicap of mine I guess) so I always ask Jazz to do that part. I bet this is scrumptious on home made bread.

  2. One thing I learned recently is that chicken thighs shred so much easier than chicken breasts. They have a bit more fat on them to cut off before you cook them, but they shred so easily. You could try those out next time.
