You guys know I love a good Crock Pot meal and this one is fabulous!

There’s a secret ingredient that screams zesty and since I’m not very good at keeping secrets, you’ll find out shortly what the super secret for these Crockpot BBQ Chicken sandwiches is.

Easy Pulled BBQ Chicken

I’m at a stage in my kiddos’ lives where everything is crazy. We lack a whole lot of time to get things done, other than the necessary things (like commitments that we’ve already committed to).

This is why, having easy Crock Pot recipes at my beckon call is a necessary thing.

I have to have good, easy, budget conscious meals at my fingertips that I know everyone will love.

And, since you’re here, I’m guessing you’re a lot like me.

And, not only do I have a secret ingredient, but I also have another secret. I heated up some of this leftover Crockpot chicken barbecue meat and topped my salad with it for lunch just as I am writing this recipe out – yes … it’s THAT good!

I can 100% see myself using this in the future to top nachos with, too.

Seriously, this Crockpot B B Q Chicken is THAT good (trust me!)
