I honestly feel bad calling this a recipe.
We love BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, which I generally make in a crockpot. I love them because they are so easy, and are a great way to guarantee eating at home on a day when I’m feeling the I’m-not-gonna-wanna-cook-tonight-vibe coming on early in the day.
But, sometimes . . . even when they’re on the menu plan . . . I forget to put them in the crockpot.
So, here’s the other version I’ve come up with for days like that.
Place frozen chicken breasts in a baking dish with sides. Dump your favorite barbeque sauce on top and spread it around. I make sure that all of the chicken is covered in sauce.
Turn the oven on at 350 degrees, and bake for one hour. After one hour, check to be sure that the chicken is cooked through, and shred with two forks (being VERY careful because the pan is hot). Stir it around and then put it back in the oven for ten minutes.
Here is where I buy 40 lbs of chicken at one time for a great price (yes, that was an affiliate link!) and see how I manage 40 lbs of chicken here.
I am so sorry to say that it seems Zaycon has gone out of business. I say “seems” because the information I’ve seen says they’ve “suspended” operations and I don’t fully understand what is happening. I’m so so sad about this since this will change how our family keeps our freezer stocked with meat. We’ve been ordering almost all of our chicken, bacon, and shrimp for them for more than five years. If you had ordered recently, I recommend that you call your credit card company or bank (for debit cards) to see what can be done. I’ve heard many people have had success doing this.
sounds yummy and easy, thank you for sharing
Hmmm… sounds like something I would do. Or I would boil the chicken, shred it and then mix in bbq sauce. Then use the "stock" to make soup.
hi,
my frozen chicken breast is as hard as a rock, are you sure i can used that? or you are referring to those you just bought from the supermarket?
thanks.

Sounds like Monday's menu is set for me now! Love an easy peasy recipe like this…and I think everyone might actually eat it too – BONUS. Thanks!!
Hi Jonie, yes I put them in there completely frozen, right out of the freezer.
I love recipes that are this easy. I made your round steak crock pot recipe for my family a couple of times and it's been a hit so I'll give this a try… I really like that your ingredient list isn't crazy with stuff I don't have plus your recipes give me ideas when I just can't come up with another dinner that's really easy and really convenient (aside from frozen pizza or ordering out). So keep 'em coming!
I 'plunk' my chicken in the crockpot frozen…. I've gotten whole chickens on sale… I bring them home & take out the 'guts' as my kids call them (I've forgotten this before & it doesn't look so nice coming out of the chicken all cooked in a bag… lol) & inject it with some flavor stuff or put a rub of some time on it…. stick it in a labeled zippy bag & put it in the freezer…. When it's time to do dinner & I remember 5 minutes before I leave… I just plunk it into the crockpot with a very tiny amount of water…. We love it…. tender & juicy!
