Beer-Can Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Another huge hit from Pinterest and my slow cooker!

The slow cooker is my new favorite kitchen tool, it comes in handy when you don't have a real stove.  I also love it because most recipes are easy but it makes amazingly delicious chicken (super juicy and flavorful).  And my boyfriend loves the slow cooker because clean up is normally pretty easy.

For the recipe I used a whole 12oz can of Blue Moon and a bottle and a half of Kraft Spicy Honey BBQ Sauce (18oz bottles) and whole wheat hamburger buns.

My coleslaw recipe is below.  Adapted from Men's Health, I eyeballed the amounts and adjusted the sugar to my taste.

Beer-Can Crockpot BBQ Chicken Sandwiches 
Ingredients:
3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 Tbsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup beer
3-3 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce

Instructions:

Add everything, except the chicken, to the crockpot and stir to combine. Add the chicken to the crockpot, spoon the sauce on top of the chicken.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours. 

When ready to eat, shred the chicken and add it back to the sauce in the crockpot. Toss chicken with the sauce.  Serve on hamburger buns topped with coleslaw or lettuce.  

Enjoy with one of the other cans of beer!  

Warning:  A little messy so make sure to have lots of napkins. 

Makes a lot of chicken (we had 6 sandwiches and had over half the chicken leftover)
