Zesty Slow Cooker Chicken BBQ

Ingredients:
* 6 frozen skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
* 1 (12 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce (FYI most bottles are bigger than this!!)
* 1/2 cup Italian salad dressing
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce ( left this out because I didn't have any)
(I usually cup up an onion and throw it in as well, but you don't have to.)

Directions:
1. Place chicken in a slow cooker. In a bowl, mix the barbeque sauce, Italian salad dressing, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the chicken.
2. Cover, and cook 3 to 4 hours on High or 6 to 8 hours on Low.

    Sounds yummy! I have heard you shoudn't cook chicken in crockpot if it's frozen.......not sure if there is any truth to that. I will try the recipe though (and will check it with my meat thermometer, I'm a bit of a nut when it comes to chicken)! Thanks for sharing!

    That bottle of BBQ sauce is 600-700+ cals on its own, I would definately add the italian and find maybe a dap of water for moisture but do a dry rub on the chicken instead and save a ton of cals

    Sounds yummy but do you have the nutritional info on this?

    Hmm, I always cook my chicken when it's frozen. I buy it in the big 6.5lb bags at Sams Club and just put a few chicken breasts in. When it's done, I shred it all up and stir it in the sauce.
    I have heard you aren't supposed to do that with ground beef though!

    Yes, sounds yummy... but, lots of sugar! Maybe slow cooking with the dry rub suggested above and then just using a tablespoon or 2 of bbq sauce to dip the chicken in?

    You can adapt it to what's good for you, but I used Bone Suckin BBQ sauce and watered it down some this past week when I made this along with light italian dressing and it was only 250 calories per serving, which was a pretty big serving.

    The nutritional value is going to vary based on what BBQ sauce and Italian dressing you use!

    I cook frozen as well and have made this and it is awesome! Use left overs for BBQ chicken salad with a fat free ranch/bbq mix dressing or make a bbq chicken pizza :D

    TASTY!

    Very yummy. Get a good quality BBQ sauce, like Sticky Fingers or Bullseye, though. We used an off-brand but it was still delish.
    Thanks for sharing it!

    I just use the frozen chicken breasts in a bag and put 3 large pieces in, if I have smaller chicken breasts I will put in more. If it helps, I would say about 3/4-1lb of chicken. That's enough for my husband, daughter, and I as well as some leftovers.
