Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken

  (adapted from Allrecipes)

 Serves: 8-10

I have another pulled chicken recipe with peach bbq sauce, but I was in a pinch without the ingredients for that one.  This turned out GREAT!  I like using just enough sauce to keep the chicken moist and infuse it with flavor.  That way, when serving the pulled chicken, you can offer a variety of sauces so that each person can choose from Eastern bbq sauce, Memphis sauce, and such.  I know the Italian dressing may sound a bit strange, but it really added a tanginess to the sweetness of the bbq sauce and was just perfect (in my opinion).  Note:  You can also use rotisserie chicken (about 2 chickens) and reduce the cooking time a bit.  

Ingredients

·         8 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

·         1 small onion, chopped

·         1 (12 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce, divided into half

·         1/2 cup Italian salad dressing (I used Olive Garden Italian dressing)  

·         2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Directions

1.     Place onions in slow cooker. Place chicken over the onions. In a bowl, mix half of the barbecue sauce, ½ cup Italian salad dressing, and 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the chicken.

2.    Cover, and cook 3 to 4 hours on High or 6 to 8 hours on Low.

3.    Shred with two forks and serve, using remaining bbq sauce for topping if desired.

Delicious served on buns or without, with a side of cole slaw!
