Oh, you’re in for a treat today. When fall rolls around my slow cooker becomes a weekly occurrence. Yesterday’s dinner plans quickly changed when I realized I had to show up for jury duty. To top it off the process took longer than expected and, yes, I was pick as a juror!

Anyway, during our hour lunch break I ran home and threw together a quick slow cooker dish. Hey there was no way I was going to want and cook after jury duty.  I knew I would be exhausted and have to catch up on work, blog, life, etc. Luckily I worked out at 6 a.m.

After a quick survey I decided on Pulled Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches. And no it’s not just BBQ sauce and chicken in a slow cooker. People PLEASE don’t do that. I have a much tastier and healthier way thanks to Against All Grain.
