Slow Cooker Toasty BBQ Sandwiches

on

These Slow Cooker Toasty BBQ Sandwiches would be perfect for the upcoming July 4th weekend! It would be a great addition to traditional hot dogs and hamburgers! They are so delicious and so simple to make! Pair it with Crunchy Slaw and enjoy! I got both of these recipes from Courtney Holsworth at A Life From Scratch. She has a super Instagram page full of recipes and organizational tips! I love following her!

Slow Cooker Toasty BBQ Sandwiches

Ingredients:
  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 18 ounces of your favorite BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Original. Their Hickory Brown Sugar flavor works well, too.)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar. (You can use Swerve Brown Sugar Replacement.)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 
  • Dash of Worcestershire 
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes 
  • Your choice of buns for serving (We used brioche sliders.)
  • Your choice of cheese. (We used sharp cheddar.)
Instructions:
  1. Place chicken breasts in a slow cooker.
  2. Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour on top and mix with the chicken.
  3. Cook on High for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 6-7.
  4. When done, preheat your oven to 425° and shred the chicken.
  5. Line a baking sheet with foil and place buns open face. 
  6. Top with chicken and cheese.
  7. Toast in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes.
Tip: To save time, line your baking sheet with foil while the chicken is in the slow cooker.

This is a recipe I will definitely make again! It is that good. Pairing it with the crunchy slaw is a great combination. Either of these recipes or both would be easy to bring to someone’s home for the 4th, too!

Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸
