Delicious Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
Fall is here, which means it’s the perfect time for family dinners and football Sundays. A great recipe to try for these occasions is slow cooker pulled chicken sandwiches. They are easy to make and perfect for feeding a crowd. The best part is that you can keep them warm in the slow cooker until you’re ready to serve.
The ingredients for these sandwiches are simple and likely already in your pantry. You’ll need chicken thighs, ketchup, BBQ sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, cumin, and cayenne. For the buns, you can use any type you like. And don’t forget to add your favorite toppings like homemade coleslaw, cheese, onion, tomato, and lettuce.
Pulling the chicken is easy. After it’s cooked in the slow cooker, you’ll use two forks to shred the meat. Then, you’ll mix it back into the sauce to soak up all the flavor.
If you have leftover pulled chicken, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. To reheat, you can use a slow cooker, microwave, or stovetop.
This slow cooker pulled chicken can be used in various ways. Try adding it to zucchini boats, salads, quinoa bowls, or use it as a topping for homemade pizza.
When serving these sandwiches, pair them with tasty side dishes like street corn pasta salad, sweet potato fries, shredded Brussels sprouts salad, avocado chickpea pasta salad, stuffed mini peppers, or Greek chickpea salad. You can also serve the pulled chicken in lettuce cups or tacos.
