:: Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches ::
I admit it; I get side tracked when it comes to meal planning. My goal this school year is to use my slow cooker more often and make simple meals, such as these amazing Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches. It became an instant favorite of mine, and what’s best of all… it makes enough for leftover’s depending on the size of your family. Of course if all else fails, you can double the ingredients for this Barbecue Chicken and save some for later. Dinner is served!
Over the summer, one of my friends planned a last minute get together. I mean, really last minute and what was amazing about this get together was that she had food prepared for both the kids and the Moms. Real simple and easy food, but it all tasted incredible. She prepared chicken sandwiches that she made with her slow cooker using this tasty Carolina Gold Barbecue sauce. The chicken came out tender and tangy and I loved everything about it. So from that moment on, I was on a mission to figure out how to make a simple yet satisfying chicken sandwich using the same barbecue sauce she used to make the chicken. 
I thought since my backyard is under construction, that I needed to use up the last of the produce from my garden box. My little onions above took months to grow, and I had to throw in an extra bell pepper…..
And a little beer for tasting…{Shane swears that this is the part that makes the sandwich}
… and this recipe for Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches was created! They are spicy yet tangy; the perfect combo for a lazy Sunday at home watching Football, or for a busy weeknight after a day of the runaround. Yum!
