Best 7 Easy Crockpot Pulled Chicken Sandwiches Recipes

PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 11 ingredients. Place chicken in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Pour sauce over top., Cook, covered, on low until chicken is tender, 4-5 hours. Remove chicken; cool slightly. Shred meat with 2 forks. Return to slow cooker; heat through. Serve on buns. Freeze option: Freeze cooled chicken mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add a little broth if necessary.

INCREDIBLE SLOW COOKER PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Add ketchup, bbq sauce, water, worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, cumin and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
• Place chicken thighs on top and flip over to coat the chicken thighs with the sauce. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 hours.
• Once done, shred chicken and place back in the slow cooker and stir with the sauce. Serve immediately or turn slow cooker to the warm setting and serve later.
• Make the slaw while the chicken is cooking: In a medium bowl combine carrots, cabbage, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil and salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate until you are ready to serve.
• Once ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to add chicken to bun, top with slaw and remaining bun. You can also serve these with sliced cheese if you prefer. Serves 4.

PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
• Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
• Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
• Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
• When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
• Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
• Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

SLOW-COOKER ASIAN PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spray 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In slow cooker, mix broth, 1/3 cup of the hoisin sauce, the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, garlic, 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Sriracha, the gingerroot and 2 teaspoons sesame oil with whisk. Add chicken; toss to coat. Cover; cook on High heat setting 3 to 4 hours.
• During last 30 minutes of cook time, make coleslaw. In large bowl, beat rice vinegar, sugar, 2 teaspoons Sriracha and 1 teaspoon sesame oil with whisk. Add coleslaw mix; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Remove chicken from slow cooker using slotted spoon. Remove sauce to another bowl. Place chicken on cutting board. Shred chicken using 2 forks, removing any bits of fat.
• Return chicken and 1 1/2 cups of the sauce to slow cooker. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons hoisin; decrease to Low heat setting. Cook about 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
• Serve on buns; top with coleslaw. Serve with remaining sauce, if desired.

BBQ PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

• Place chicken into the bottom of a slow cooker and cover with water. Cook on High until it is no longer pink in the center and falls apart when pulled, about 4 hours.
• Puree onion and garlic in the bowl of a food processor until finely minced.
• Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred meat with 2 forks. Discard cooking water.
• Return chicken to the slow cooker. Add pureed onion-garlic mixture, barbeque sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook on High until heated through, about 10 minutes.

• Return chicken and 1/2 cup juice to the slow cooker; stir to combine. Remove barbecue sauce from the refrigerator and pour and blend it into the chicken. Cook for 1 more hour.

• I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.
