Quick and Easy Dinner #4: Crock Pot BBQ Chicken

Continuing my quick and easy dinner series for the month of May, I've whipped up my latest creation: Crock Pot BBQ Chicken. It's so easy, just take 5 minutes of your time in the morning and 5 more when you get home from work and you have a delicious dinner to enjoy.

Ingredients
12-16 oz barbeque sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's) 
4 oz beer or water
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Special tools: crock pot

Directions
1. Place chicken breasts in crock pot and add barbeque sauce and beer or water (I used Michelob Golden Light).

2. Turn the crock pot on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. If you're home, you may want to stir occasionally, but this isn't necessary.
3. Remove the chicken and shred it. This is very easy; just use 2 forks to pull apart each chicken breasts. If you do this right, it will naturally pull apart. You will end up with 1 breast looking like this:

4. Add the shredded chicken back to the crock pot, stir the sauce and chicken together, and let sit for 10-15 minutes. 
5. Serve on hamburger buns and with your side of choosing. To stay on the healthier side, I went with broccoli. 

Kudos to the blog How Sweet it Is for giving me the idea for this recipe.
