Crockpot Chicken Barbeque Sandwiches

Last night I hosted FHE at my house. I was in charge of dinner and I was struggling to figure out what to make. I wanted to make grilled chicken pasta in tomato cream sauce, but didn't have enough pasta. Then I wanted to make chili con carne, but didn't have enough ground beef. So finally I came upon this recipe and it was a WINNER!

These sandwiches were so delicious! Everyone loved them and we all gobbled them up (there were 6 adults) until there were no more left! They were so delicious, so yummy, and best of all they are EASY. That's my favorite part! Want to make these too? Well here is the recipe:

Yield: about 16 sandwiches

Ingredients:
6 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 12 oz bottle barbeque sauce (I used Sweet Baby Rays and I am forever converted)
1/2 cup italian dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
hamburger buns, toasted

your choice of toppings, but these are good plain!

Directions:

Place chicken in slow cooker. Mix barbeque sauce, italian dressing, brown sugar, and wocestershire sauce together, pour over chicken. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours, or on low for 6 to 7 hours. I like to shred the chicken after 3 hours and let it cook for the last hour in all the juices. Serve on toasted hamburger buns. These will be messy! Make sure you have napkins on hand.

ENJOY!!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Here's another easy crockpot recipe. This one is for you Kim!

Yeild: about 8 sandwiches

1 2lb pork piece (any cut will do, I think I bought sirlion)
1 12oz can root beer
1 18oz bottle of your favorite barbeque sauce
hambuger buns, toasted

Place pork in crockpot, cover with root beer and cook on low until pork shreds easily, about 5-6 hours. Take pork out of the crockpot to shred. Drain the remaining root beer. Place shredded pork back in crockport and add barbeque sauce, continue cooking on low for another hour or until ready to serve.

Lightly (or heavily, if you've had a rough day) butter the hambuger buns and place then on a heated skillet to toast.

Serve the bbq pork on the hamburger buns. Enjoy! We loved these sandwiches- they are definitely going in the dinner rotation!

Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwiches

The main purpose of this blog is to motivate me to find new and challenging recipes to make. But sometimes I'll post a couple quick and easy recipes.

These are my favorite sandwiches. They are oh-so-yummy and there is no possible way to screw them up. Perfect for college girls looking to impress some RMs. Ashley, Tawni, Lacie? Are you paying attention? Good.

You will need:

A crockpot
2 chicken breasts
1/2 12 oz bottle of Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce (buffalo flavor- you don't want it any hotter than that, trust me!)
1/2 package dry ranch dressing mix
2 tablespoons butter

hamburger buns
lettuce
mayo
ranch dressing

yield: approximately 6 sandwiches

Place frozen chicken breasts in crockpot. Pour in wing sauce. Add dry ranch dressing and butter and cook on low for about 5 hours or on high about 3. When the chicken is cooked enough to shred apart easily, do so. Then continue cooking the chicken in all those good smelling juices for about another hour or until your ready to eat. Like I said, it's hard to screw this up. Maybe that's why it's my fave.

When ready to serve, scoop out chicken with a slotted spoon. It's very juicy and messy. Delightfully messy. So try to get rid of as much of the juices as you can and serve on hamburger buns. Just keep some napkins handy. You'll need them. I like to use some ranch dressing and mayo on my hamburger buns, I think it really adds to the flavor and helps combat the spicy-ness of the buffalo sauce. But eat it however way you choose. It's your sandwich.

Also add cheese. I bet that's good. Dustin doesn't like cheese, so I didn't think to add it, but I bet it's yummy.

Also I would have taken a picture of these sandwiches, but my camera batteries died yesterday :( I feel....incomplete.
