Yes, I’ve gone the super easy route and dumped a bottle of barbecue sauce into the slow cooker with some chicken. Sometimes life just calls for that sort of thing.
As a mom to three busy boys, I’m all for dumping dinner in the slow cooker in the morning and calling it good.
But it really doesn’t take much more effort to add the few extra ingredients that make this chicken extra special. And that little bit of extra effort makes a big difference!
We typically serve this on sandwich buns topped off with coleslaw, but it’s also great over rice. If you have leftovers, this chicken is great in wraps and salads.
And if you plan ahead, you can double the recipe and freeze enough for another meal. There’s nothing better than having something tasty prepped for those times life gets really crazy.
This is also a great meal to take to someone who just had a baby or spent time in the hospital. It’s total comfort food that is loved by both kids and adults alike.
