Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich
To Save Calories
Use Sandwich Thins instead of Buns.
There is a 100 calories in each Thins
Walmart so far is the cheapest place I've found them so far. You can find them by the bread.
Too Easy to make! And tasty too!!
1lb of Chicken Breast
1 Jar of BBQ sauce of your choice - I use Sweet Baby Ray
4 tablespoon of water
You can add honey and brown sugar if you want. If you do you need 1 tablespoon
1 package of sandwich thins
Throw everything minus the Sandwich Thins in crock pot on low for 6-8 hours
The last half of hour, shred chicken with fork slow cook for another 30 min
My husband and kids love this with mash Tatars! I eat mine with a sweet potato.

cooking
Every week I have someone asked me for a recipe, what I am cooking, how do I plan my meals, and if I could share my tips with them. Hence the reason for the new blog!
My goal is to try to post my weekly menu and then post the recipes daily. I'll try my best to post the deals or savings too to help make those meals.
I can promise that these meals will be quick and easy on both the cook and the pockets. Some of them will be easy on the waist too ;) These meals are also our lunch the next day, sometimes!!!
Look out for yesterdays and today's meal which both were made in the crock pot! Quick and Easy!!
The Best Beef Stew - Monday
BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich - Tuesday
Chili - Wednesday
I'd post them now but I have to take my oldest to her 5 years well visit ;)
