BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwiches

I really love using the slow cooker all year but by this time I start getting a little sick of the same old stews and slow cooker dishes. This recipe for BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches transports you to summer time as the winter weather gets colder. It is a healthier version of pulled pork and is so easy to make.
