Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Wraps

BBQ Chicken Wrap

I have a love affair with my slow cooker.  I use it year-round.  In the summer months, it’s my sanity saver in a house with no air-conditioning.  In the winter months, it’s my favorite comfort-food kitchen appliance.  I have a friend who just started using one this fall and doesn’t know how she lived without it (told you so…)

I love the ease that my slow cooker brings to my daily routine, so when I can use products to whip up a meal with minimal effort, I pat myself on the back for a job well done.  Having essentials on hand like fresh cut-up veggies (you’d be surprised how much faster vegetables are used up when they’re already sliced and ready to eat out of the fridge), dips and sauces (true to form, two of my kids will eat most anything as long as it can be dipped!) and pantry products like bread and tortillas can go a long way to making your cooking routine a snap.

Here’s a super-easy recipe combining my slow cooker (love affair!) and wraps.

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Wraps
 
Ingredients
  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bottle of beer
  • 1 bottle BBQ sauce
  • 1 package tortillas
  • 1 package Coleslaw Mix
  • 1 bottle Coleslaw Dressing
Instructions
  1. Place chicken in the slow cooker and season with paprika, garlic salt and pepper
  2. Add onions, beer, and BBQ sauce
  3. Mix well, cover, and cook on low 7 hours
  4. At 7 hours, shred chicken in the pot with forks, cover and continue cooking for the final hour
  5. Mix bag of coleslaw with dressing and place in the fridge at this point, so it has an hour to chill
  6. To serve, place shredded chicken in tortilla (making sure to scoop out with a draining spoon to avoid large amounts of liquid), top with coleslaw, wrap it up and serve!
Notes
If you use frozen chicken, you may find the consistency a little more watery than if you use thawed.

I used 2 bottles (380ml each) sauce the first time I made this, but cut it down to one bottle the next time, and it was great. I used Budweiser Premium BBQ sauce on another date as well and it was just as tasty. Use your favorite sauce!

I used Molson Canadian beer – I don’t think it would matter which beer you use, to be honest, but I’ve read that dark ales may be really good to try.

Top however you like – I like coleslaw as I find the creamy taste helps cool some of the BBQ flavor, but the kids like theirs without. My husband tops it with red onions.
