Slow Cooker Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Chris and I were completely unprepared for the last snow day we had (since when does it snow in March?!), so we were rummaging through our freezer and pantry most of the day to find food that would hold us over until we could drive to the store.

Luckily I had some frozen chicken breasts on hand, and since I always have BBQ sauce stored away I decided to make Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. I didn't even thaw the meat--I just put it in the slow cooker along with some water and BBQ sauce and let it go. We served these on hamburger buns with shredded Cheddar cheese and sliced dill pickles. The pickles were a last minute thought of mine, and they were a delicious compliment to the chicken. I highly recommend adding them if you have some on hand. Enjoy!
