Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

I am all about quick and easy recipes but this has to be a record for the easiest thing I make.  I mean it is kind of silly to call it a "recipe".  Throw two ingredients in a slow cooker and let it cook all day.  Can it get any easier?

Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce  *In this house it is ALWAYS Sweet Baby Rays!!

Put the chicken in the slow cooker.  Pour the sauce on top.  Cook on low all day.  Remove the chicken and shred it.  Return it to the slow cooker and mix back in the sauce to coat.

Sometimes I'll serve this on buns for sandwiches, other times it's just the shredded chicken on a plate.  It is all drippy with sauce and so yummy! 

Sorry it's not a great picture.  Snapped it as I threw placed the food on the table before everyone went in different directions...dance class, school meeting, etc.  Perfectly quick dinner for a night like that.  Added some macaroni & cheese and steamed broccoli on the side. 

Just as I was ready to post this I saw that one of the blogs I love has a similar recipe posted today.  Tiffany from Eat At Home has added another ingredient to her Zingy BBQ Chicken in the Slow Cooker or Oven.  Go check it out.  Next time I make this I am going to give her version a try.  Thanks for the idea, Tiffany!

    I love an easy recipe like this. I've been wanting to use my Crock Pot more and will have to try this. We love Sweet Baby Ray, too!
