I use this recipe many different ways... I usually make rice, shred the chicken and serve on top or I make BBQ sandwiches (if you make sandwiches, before shredding add some flour or cornstarch mix to the leftover sauce and heat if you like a thick sauce, I never do but we don't mind it a bit thinner) I always like a little crunch in my sandwiches so that's why I've added the peppers, they are sweet and cut thin so they don't take away from the chicken! I have also used the leftovers in roll-ups for lunches...so many possibilities.

    Put 1/4 of the sauce on bottom of crock pot.
