Crock Pot Honey BBQ Shredded Chicken


I love using the crock pot for meals. Especially when I have lots of frozen chicken on hand. This can be made as sandwiches for all the bread eaters in your house, but I just eat it on top of veggies, or by itself.




  • 2lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs


  • 1 bottle SF bbq sauce, plus 1 cup for later


  • 2 Tablespoons water


  • 2 Tablespoons honey


  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (divided)


  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes


  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder


  • 1 Tablespoon fresh cilantro


Add chicken, whole bottle BBQ sauce, water, honey, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic and cilantro. Mix and cook on low for about 6 hours. At 6 hours, the sauce will be liquid. Remove chicken and dump liquid. Add chicken back to the pot, turn setting on to "keep warm" and add 1 cup of BBQ sauce and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Shred chicken. Eat! This is a new favorite of ours!

BBQ Chicken Wheat Pizza




Sometimes we just want pizza. I have enjoyed tortilla pizzas many times. As I was searching in Trader Joe's one day I found 99 cent wheat pizza dough. I bought 3 and threw them in the freezer. I had extra BBQ sauce from my turkey legs, so I decided to make something different.

  • 1 bag wheat pizza dough (let it sit at room temp for 20 minutes before using)


  • 3/4 of a bottle of SF BBQ sauce


  • 2 chicken breasts


  • 1 tablespoon chili powder


  • 1 large viadalia onion, sliced thin


  • 2 cups LF cheddar cheese


  • 2-3 Tablespoons of fresh cilantro


  • flour to dust the dough

Preheat oven to 450. Flour a baking sheet and add dough. Stretch out into a rectangle. In a pan cook chicken until no longer pink, then add to a pot, with 2-3 tablespoons of BBQ sauce and chili powder. Cook for about 5 minutes and shred with a fork and tongs. Add cooking spray to a pan and add onions until caramelized.

Add remaining BBQ sauce on top of dough and spread out like sauce. Add cheese, chicken, onions and cilantro. Cook for about 10 minutes. Holy moly this was soooo good. I am going to make it again soon!
