Crock Pot Shredded Barbecue Chicken

Crock Pot Shredded Barbecue Chicken is made by slow-cooking chicken breasts with a zesty flavorful sauce until it is tender enough to be shredded for sandwiches and more.

I know I've already mentioned it like a gazillion times, but my husband doesn't like pork.  That's why this recipe is SO perfect for my family.  Shredded chicken is an awesome substitute for shredded pork in the crockpot.  This recipe is so easy, so flavorful and it versatile, too.

Easy.  You throw everything in, turn it on and forget about it. 

Flavorful.  With just a few added ingredients, a run of the mill barbecue sauce is elevate to a zesty sauce for the chicken to soak up.

Versatile.  It's not just for sandwiches!  Try it on a baked potato with shredded cheese.  Serve it over a crisp garden salad with ranch dressing.  Make a barbecue chicken pizza!   Think outside the box, people!  No matter how you decide to serve it, I know you'll love it.
