Ingredients

  • 3 lb chicken breasts (Approximately 5-6 chicken breasts)
  • 1 ½ cups BBQ Sauce (Divided)
  • ¼ cup Italian Salad Dressing
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 Buns (I used ciabatta buns but any will work)
  • ½ Red Onion (Sliced) Optional for Topping
  • 6 oz Monterey jack cheese (Sliced)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup BBQ sauce, ¼ cup Italian salad dressing, ¼ cup brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  • Place 3 pounds chicken breasts in a 6-quart crock pot. Pour the sauce mixture over the top of the chicken.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Shred the chicken, then stir the remaining ½ cup BBQ sauce into the crock pot with the chicken.
  • Serve the chicken on 6 buns topped with ½ red onion, sliced, and 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese.

Notes

We love serving this on buns, but this is great by itself as well.
