Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwich


This has got to be one of the easiest things I make.  But it's always a crowd pleaser and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it.

Shredded Chicken BBQ
I only use 2 chicken breasts for my family of 5, but use however many you want.  Put them in a crock pot, slather your favorite BBQ sauce all over, put the lid on, set on "low heat" and after 3-4 hours, your chicken is done!  You can leave it on longer and it will get even more moist and tender.  When the chicken is done, take them out of the crock pot and use two forks to pull the chicken apart.  Then put it back in the crock pot and make sure to stir it up nicely in the juices and BBQ sauce.  I usually do this about half an hour before serving.  Easy peasy, right?

The meal I've pictured above is about how I usually serve it.  I have the chicken on a "Nature's Own" Honey Wheat Bun (Altogether about 220 calories).  Frozen fries are about 120 calories per serving.  And the cottage cheese is about 100 calories.  (Is it bad that I don't count calories on fruits and veggies?)

*****EDIT:  I should add that I get the chicken directly out of the freezer and plop them in the crock pot.  You don't need to thaw them at all!******
