I was really craving BBQ pulled pork last night... but have you seen the prices of a big ol' hunk of pork shoulder lately? No thank you! So I decided to improvise with chicken instead. It was equally fabulous and about 1/10th of the price! And unless you knew it was chicken, I bet you couldn't even tell ;)
Indgredients:
Indgredients:
- 3 chicken breasts
- 2 chicken bouillon cubes
- 2 cups of water
- BBQ sauce (I used hot and spicy!)
- Coleslaw
- Hamburger buns
Directions:
- Place chicken breasts, bouillon cubs and two cups of water into your crockpot. Heat on low for 7-8 hours depending on how fast your crockpot cooks.
- Take out chicken breasts and place in a bowl
- Drain and rinse out crockpot
- Gently shred chicken breasts with a fork and return to crockpot
- Pour in as much or as a little BBQ sauce as you prefer. Keep mixing so that you cover all of the chicken
- Turn crockpot to keep warm until BBQ has heated through
- Slap a little butter on your buns (hamburger buns, geesh) and lightly toast in the toaster oven
- Put a big scoop of BBQ pulled chicken on your bun, top with some coleslaw and enjoy!
This really hit the spot! The combination of hot and spicy BBQ with my funky coleslaw was just the right marriage of flavors. In fact, I had it for lunch today again!

OMG - this looks great. I haven't cooked such a thing so I am sure it would be a conversation topic down here - I am in Australia and hamburgers go in buns!!
Your coleslaw looks great too.
Take care and keep up the great work with your blog - I love it!!
This sounds like a nice alternative to pork bbq. It looks delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
This sounds wonderful. I am going to have to try it!
I made this for dinner last night (minus the coleslaw) and my super picky husband told me it was a keeper! It is rare that I get to make a new recipe twice so thanks for a keeper.
