Barbecue Chicken
6-7 chicken breasts (or as many as you can shove in your crock-pot)
2-3 bottles of your favorite barbecue sauce
Place the chicken in the crock pot, and pour in one bottle of barbecue sauce. Cook on low for at least 7 hours, until chicken is cooked through and comes apart easily when poked with a fork. Remove chicken from crock pot and drain all the juice (the chicken makes a ton of juice/fat, and it will be too juicy if you don't drain it now). Shred the chicken with two forks, and return it to the crock pot. Add half the second bottle of barbecue sauce. Stir, and add more sauce until it's as saucy as you like it (we like our chicken sauuu-ceeee!) I know it's a lot of barbecue sauce at one time, but it will last for a long time, so it's really worth it. Let the chicken simmer for another hour or so to let the sauce and chicken meld together. Place in containers (I use 2 cup ones, they're just the right size for 1 meal for us.)
Cool and then place in freezer. I use the chicken for barbecue chicken sandwiches when I don't feel like cooking, don't know what to cook, or ruin what I'm cooking that night! I also use it for barbecue chicken pizza. It's so nice to just be able to pull the chicken out, thaw it in just a couple hours, and just like that, dinner's ready!
