Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 chicken breasts
  • 1 chopped red onion
  • 1 tsp each of salt pepper, and paprika
  • 1 TBSP ranch dressing seasoning
  • 1 TBSP minced garlic
  • 1 TBSP white vinegar
  • BBQ Sauce I used Buffalo Wild Wing’s Honey BBQ
  • Ciabatta rolls
  • Pepper jack cheese slices
  • Bacon
  • Ranch dressing

Method
 

  1. Spray a crockpot with cooking spray. Chop a red onion. Add the chicken, onion, minced garlic, vinegar, and all of the seasonings to a crockpot.
  2. Add some BBQ sauce on top. I don't use exact measurements for this part. I usually just do enough to cover the chicken, but you can really use as much as you'd like.
  3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Towards the end of the 4-6 hours cook bacon however you like. I prefer to bake it in the oven on a sheet pan at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes. Shred the chicken, stir well, and add a little bit more BBQ sauce if needed.
  4. Lay out the ciabatta rolls on a sheet pan and spray them with some oil. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees F for a few minutes or until they are lightly toasted. Add the pepper Jack cheese to the tops of the rolls and put them back in the oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese.
  5. Build sandwiches with bbq chicken and bacon. Add ranch if desired.
  6. Enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!

Notes

This recipe makes at least 6-8 sandwiches depending on how much chicken you put on the sandwiches. This recipe is also great on buns or hoagie rolls if you aren't a fan of the Ciabatta rolls.
