Description
Simple and tasty BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, perfectly shredded and saucy, made easily in either a Crock Pot or Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds)
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce
- 2 T Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 C Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
- 1/4 C brown sugar
- 8 hamburger buns
- 8 slices Swiss or provolone cheese (microbial-rennet)
Instructions
- Mix Sauce: Combine 1 (12 ounce) bottle Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup Zesty Italian Dressing, and 1/4 C brown sugar in a medium-sized bowl and stir to combine.
- Prepare Chicken: Place 6 chicken breasts (about 3 1/2 pounds) in a 4 quart crock pot or instant pot and pour the sauce over the top.
- Cook: For the CROCK POT, cover and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 3 1/2-4 hours. For the INSTANT POT, set to high pressure and cook with the pressure vent closed for 25 minutes, then allow the pressure to vent naturally for 15 minutes.
- Shred and Serve: Once the chicken is cooked and easily falls apart, remove it to a plate and shred with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, stir to coat well in sauce, and serve on hamburger buns with a slice of provolone or Swiss cheese.
Notes
Serve these sandwiches with crispy fries or fresh watermelon chunks for a complete meal.
