I knew exactly what I was going to do with this slow cooker Italian BBQ chicken as soon as I saw the recipe. Po Boys. I knew that the tender chicken, cooked in BBQ sauce and Italian dressing, would be perfect on French bread and I was right. The chicken has just a hint of sweetness, a bit of a tanginess, and a bit of heat. Perfect for a sandwich of any kind. I loved the contrast of the melt-in-your-mouth chicken and the crunch of onion and iceberg lettuce. Yum!
I didn’t mess around making a sandwich. I loaded up on the chicken. Thick onion slices (soaked in water for 30 minutes to cut a little bit of that onion heat). Ripe tomato. Plenty of shredded lettuce. Heck yeah, it was messy. And messy is good.
Open To Changes
You can really change up the taste of this slow cooker Italian BBQ chicken by using a more herby or zesty dressing or by adding different BBQ sauces. Smoky, hot, mesquite, etc BBQ sauces would all really make for different tastes. That way you can make this chicken again and again without getting bored with it.
