Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled chicken
I've had a slow cooker for a long long time but it spends most of its life sitting on a shelf seldom used. Since putting this recipe together, it's been made twice and will likely be made again in the next few weeks.

Serve the shredded chicken with iceberg lettuce, cucumber and sliced cherry tomatoes ready to be stuffed into soft flour wraps, pittas or another flatbread.
