Slow Cooker BBQ Shredded Chicken

This last Super Bowl Sunday I prepared these yummy Slow Cooker BBQ Shredded Chicken Sandwiches topped with a Avocado and Tomatillo Slaw. They were definitely the hit of the show! I am so excited to share this recipe with you so let's get started!

Ingredients List:
4 larger chicken breast
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 TBS vegetable oil
1 TBS whole grain mustard
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp all spice
1/8 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 lemon slices
BBQ sauce makes 2 1/2 cups.

Mix all ingredients (excluding the chicken) in a bowl. Add chicken breast to the slow cooker and pour your desired amount of BBQ sauce over the chicken and then add lemon slices.  If you want a bolder flavor add more and for a mild flavor add less BBQ sauce. Cook on high for 4 hours.

Chicken ready is ready to be shredded, don't forget to remove the lemon rinds.

You can shred the chicken right in your slow cooker. The chicken is so tender all you need is a butter knife and fork. Mix the chicken with the sauce and get ready to make your sandwich.

 A great addition to the BBQ Shredded Chicken Sandwich is coleslaw, if you are looking for a new spin on coleslaw
