The past few weeks have been busy and quite hectic for us. I have been using my slow cooker a lot. Here is a recipe that we tried recently. We absolutely devoured these sandwiches. They were so flavorful and just a little different than your average chicken sandwich. These sandwiches were hearty and very filling. All you need is a simple side salad or some fresh fruit and you are all set. This recipe makes quite a bit of pulled chicken, so if you have a small family it will last for several meals. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did!
Honey-Bourbon Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
Serves: 4-6 large sandwiches or 8 smaller sandwiches
Adapted from: http://healthy-delicious.com/2011/11/honey-bourbon-pulled-chicken/
Ingredients:
1 cup lower sugar Ketchup
1/4 onion, minced
1/4 cup Bourbon
1 tablespoon Honey
1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Molasses
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce (use lower sodium)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch red cayenne pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
whole wheat sandwich buns
pickle slices - optional
Directions:
-Combine all ingredients except chicken in the slow cooker. Mix all ingredients well. Add the chicken breasts and make sure to coat them with the sauce.
-Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on low for 8 hours. After cooking for 8 hours, take a fork or spoon and gently shred the chicken into pieces. It will probably just fall apart after cooking so long. Stir the entire ingredients together and cover the slow cooker.
-Take a wheat sandwich bun and put some of the chicken on it. Add pickles or any additional toppings you might prefer on top.
-Serve
Enjoy! :)
