Super Easy, Super Yummy Crock Pot Chicken

Since Daniel had the day off on Monday, it felt like an extension of our weekend so I didn't do my normal cleaning/errand running/etc routine. We had this easy meal for dinner and it was sooooo yummy, I had to share.

Shredded Chicken Sandwiches
Ingredients:
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (this gave us plenty of leftovers)
  • Meat tenderizer
  • Montreal Chicken Seasoning by McCormick
  • Buns (whichever kind you prefer, but we like fresh hard rolls for these sandwiches)
  • A crock pot :-)

Directions:
  1. Place the chicken breasts in a crock pot
  2. Sprinkle the meat tenderizer and montreal chicken seasoning generously over the chicken
  3. Add about a 1/2 cup of water to keep the chicken nice and moist.
  4. Cook on HIGH for about 4 hours, check that the chicken is cooked through, then turn to LOW until you're ready to eat.
  5. [Optional] Ladle out some of the excess water.
  6. Take 2 forks and shred the chicken breasts. They will fall apart so easily!
  7. Put some of the shredded chicken on your bun and you're ready to customize your sandwich!
I'm sort of a "Plain Jane" and like just the chicken on my sandwich, but the great thing about the seasoning used is that it's pretty versatile. Here are some ideas to try (all tested and enjoyed by my husband):
  • BBQ Sauce
  • Chicken-Parm Sandwich (Shredded Italian cheese mix with some spaghetti sauce on top)
  • Chicken & Cheese- melt some American (or whatever kind you prefer) on top of the chicken.
I didn't take a picture of the actual meal because we ate it before I thought about it but it's not really about presentation with this meal- it's about something super easy that people can make their own through toppings and such.

Enjoy!
