BBQ-Coke Crock Pot Chicken

YUM. I made BBQ chicken in a crock pot a few times before this, using other recipes, and this one wins by a landslide. It's super easy, only has 3 ingredients, and tastes amazing. It would be great with some nice hearty rolls for a pulled BBQ chicken sandwich, but we've eaten it plain with corn bread and a veggie. Whatever you choose to do with it, it's good. Also, I've always shredded it, but I'm sure you could do some other fun stuff.

BBQ-Coke Crock Pot Chicken

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 bottle barbeque sauce (any kind, I used Kraft Bulls-Eye Original - $.50 with a coupon. Yay!)
  • 1 can regular Coca-Cola (you could try with another soda - we always have Coke in our house though. Somebody has a soda problem... and it's not Ryan)
  • Boneless skinless chicken breast, fresh or frozen (I use about 1.5 lbs, but I have a smaller slow cooker)
INSTRUCTIONS

Place fresh or frozen chicken breasts in a crock pot. Pour barbeque sauce and coke over chicken and stir a bit. Cook on high 5-6 hours or low 8 hours. Remove chicken from crock pot and shred with two forks.

TO FREEZE

Divide shredded chicken into labeled freezer bags (I do about 2 cups per bag). You can add a little of the remaining sauce in the crock pot to the chicken, or freeze it separately to thaw and serve with the chicken on serving day, but you don't really need to. On serving day thaw and reheat in the microwave and serve!
