Not only are these super delicious, but they are so easy and the prepped Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken makes for great and easy meals for the whole week too! Not to mention the crock-pot cooks the chicken perfectly. I teach you how to make a healthier version of a SCRUMPTIOUS ranch dressing and super simple pickled onions to go on top as well. So what are we waiting for? Let us get started on the Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken Flatbreads!

What Delicious Ingredients Are in these Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken Flatbreads

With these flatbreads, feel free to use pickled onions from the store or your favorite ranch dressing! However, I love making my own pickled onions and ranch, so thought you all would love to as well. In a time crunch though having the store bought ones on hand is a great option too. I know it may seem like a lot of ingredients under the pickled onions or dressing, but don’t let that deter you! They are majority seasonings and ALL of the below takes about 10 minutes in total to put together 🙂

Directions for cooking The Easy BBQ Chicken in the Crock-Pot

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts (5 breasts)
• 2 cups of BBQ sauce of choice
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar

Directions:

1. Grease the inside of your crock pot. Then in a large mixing bowl add in 2 cups of BBQ sauce, garlic cloves minced, Worcester sauce and brown sugar. Whisk until fully incorporated
2. Place the boneless skinless chicken breasts into the crock-pot, where they are nestled next to each other pour the BBQ sauce mixture over them. Then flip over the chicken breasts to have them full coated. BBQ mixture should still be covering them
3. Cook on high for 3 1/2 hours
4. Once the time is up shred your chicken breasts with 2 forks. Or the method I LOVE is to place the chicken breasts into the Kitchen Aide Mixer, shred on medium speed, then place back into the crock pot. Give it a few stirs and then recover and let it simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes.
5. Then you are ready to start layering your BBQ chicken flat bread!

Tips when making the Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken Flatbreads

What kind of BBQ sauce is the best for this recipe?

I really like using Kinder’s BBQ Sauce. It is gluten free, organic and has minimal ingredients!

Do I have to use gorgonzola cheese?

You don’t have to use gorgonzola cheese, however the tanginess that gorgonzola cheese adds. I highly recommend using it! It really balances the sweetness, tangy and deliciousness.

What is the best way to shred the chicken?

I use to shred my chicken with 2 forks forever and occasionally burning myself on the hot chicken in the process (hahah been there too many times!). It was this year when I discovered the Kitchen Aide method and will never turn back! Place the chicken breasts in the kitchen aide mixer and shred on medium.

Does it have to be a certain kind of flatbread or pizza crust?

Nope! Whatever flatbread you love! I linked the one we are obsessed with though on here 🙂

How do I store the Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Chicken Flatbreads?

The BBQ Chicken can be stored in an air tight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. If you cook one ahead of time, they heat up really well if you place it in a frying pan on medium heat to crisp it up again or zap it in the microwave is fine by me– just not as crisp ( but your preference!) then top with the coleslaw mixture and enjoy!
