Pulled chicken sandwiches are a great alternative to pulled pork. Instead of using the slow cooker, this recipe just calls for boiling the chicken breasts. That means this recipe can be done on short notice. If you would prefer to use a slow cooker you can do that as well. What is really great about this recipe is the BBQ sauce. The homemade bbq sauce uses ingredients such as cider vinegar, and ground mustard to give it an amazing flavor. I always top my pulled chicken sandwiches will dill pickle rounds and coleslaw. This is a great recipe now that football season is here. Enjoy.
