Crockpot BBQ Chicken

Jake and I tried this recipe last night and it was so yummy! We just had the chicken on it's own with some sides, but next time I want to shred the chicken and put it on some buns. Yum!

The Best Crockpot BBQ Chicken
Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless  chicken breasts
1 cup  BBQ sauce
1/4 cup Zesty Italian dressing
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
salt to taste

Directions

1. Season chicken breast lightly (a small pinch per breast)  with some sea salt and place in your crockpot.
  
2. In a mixing bowl combine BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until well combined.

3. Pour over chicken, cover and cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours

4. Once time is up, you can serve the breast whole, or shred with 2 forks. If shredding, recover and let cook in sauce for about 10-15 more minutes to soak up all that delish flavor.

Cheese Sauce (for broccoli or whatever you like!)

This sauce is so easy to make! I was pan frying some broccoli, zucchini and chicken together, and thought to myself, this needs a cheese sauce! So I found this recipe and drizzled it over. It was delicious!

Here's the recipe:

Servings 6

2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs all-purpose flower
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk flour into butter mixture until smooth. Pour milk into butter mixture and stir until mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Add cheese and stir until cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Yum!!
