Notice that those are not the homemade wheat rolls from last night’s dinner! We ended up making PBJ sliders for lunch, using some homemade blueberry jam that a friend gave us for Christmas!
So…
These intended-to-be sliders are more like sandwiches.
Whatever bread will work. And whatever “title” will work too!
Just going with the flow!
I went for the reduced sourdough loaf that was in the top of the freezer.
Slice. Slice. Slice.

this looks yumm-o. can’t wait to try
I don’t think I have made pulled chicken before. Or even a BBQ chicken type like this. This looks delicious and sounds really easy to make. Going to put the ingredients on my list for grocery day tomorrow.
B-b-que anything is good, but pulled chicken sandwiches are hard to beat! Thanks for the affordable tips.
I just found your site.. I’ve followed you on Twitter for awhile.. I’m so glad I’ve found your blog! Great ideas for this mother of 5!

I’m so glad you posted this recipe! I was planning on making some sort of pulled chicken sandwiches for dinner next week! Now I don’t have to go searching for a recipe. I love when things just fall into place!

Maybe I’m just dumb but what exactly is “prepared mustard”?
@erin,
Mustard from a mustard bottle 🙂
These look sooooo yummy! I’m always looking for great chicken slow cooker recipes. Thanks so much!
Everytime I open your web page I learn something. Do you teach classes? I would be your student.
@Tina,
There is something in the works…shh…keep your eyes peeled!
I made this for dinner tonight, and it. was. delightful! Thanks for sharing! I MUST buy your book now! 😉
I tried this tonight and didn’t like it. It just had a funky taste. The last few new recipes I’ve tried out in my slow cooker have been duds. : (
@Kathleen,
Sorry to hear that!
This was great and easy…Best of all my daughter asked me to make it again two days later. Top scores.
