Slow Cooker Barbecue Pulled Chicken & Cornbread
I saw this recipe on Crockpot 365 & immediately wanted to try it. I was nervous about making cornbread in the slow cooker, but I figured it was worth a shot. The cornbread actually came out close to perfect. It was crispy on top & moist inside. It was a great topping for the BBQ sauce, onions, & shredded chicken. The original recipe said to use leftover cooked chicken, but I just threw the breasts into the slow cooker raw. I popped the cornbread topping off when it was finished, shredded the chicken, and placed the cornbread back on top. Serve this with a shredded lettuce or cole slaw salad & it’s a perfect weeknight dinner.
I thought this came out great, but DBF wouldn’t eat it. He also doesn’t eat pizza so I wouldn’t take his word on anything food related (love him anyway!). It was a little on the sweet side for me, but I’m thinking that’s because I used regular BBQ sauce. Next time I’m going to try this with chipotle BBQ sauce.
