easy bbq pulled chicken


I love Lloyd's BBQ in the tubs. This recipe makes A LOT so you can freeze a bunch of it and have it ready to go for a lot less than Lloyd's. The picture above is some I pulled out of the freezer to reheat for dinner. This is also great to feed to a big group. It makes about 24 servings.

The best part is that it only has three ingredients, one of them is water, and you use a slow cooker. Can't get much easier.

My changes: We think it needs more sauce so after you shred it you can add another bottle of BBQ sauce, or everyone can just add some to taste on their own sandwiches.

Crock Pot BBQ Pulled Chicken
(adapted from Ivory Family Favorites cookbook)

1 (4-pound) bag frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 (16 ounce) bottle BBQ sauce
1/2 cup water (recipe called for 1 cup but it was too soupy, better with 1/2 cup)
2 dozen buns or rolls

In the morning, place chicken breasts in the crock pot, frozen. Pour barbecue sauce and water over the top and cook all day on low heat. Before serving, shred chicken with two forks to pull it apart and mix in sauce well. Spoon onto buns or rolls. (Add more barbecue sauce as needed, see above note.)
