Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 4 hours
Total time: 4 hours 20 mins

Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:
PULLED CHICKEN
½ cup chopped onion
2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup salsa Verde (your favorite brand)
1 can (10.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

Toasted Bacon Bread Crumbs
2 tablespoons butter
3 slices diced cooked bacon
⅔ cup plain bread crumbs

Cheese Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup milk

Buns and Optional Topping
4-5 large buns
½ cup pickled sliced jalapeño chiles (if desired)
Instructions:
In a 6-quart slow cooker, place chopped onion; top with chicken breast. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Top chicken with salsa verde and diced tomatoes. Cover; cook on High heat setting 4 hours.
Shred chicken with 2 forks or with your beaters if you have electric beaters. This makes the process so much easier. Set slow cooker to lowest setting, and cover until ready to assemble sandwiches.
In 1-quart saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add diced bacon and bread crumbs, stirring 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly toasted. Put aside.
In another 1-quart saucepan, heat Cheese Sauce ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. I like to add some of the cheese sauce to the chicken and have a saucepan for extra cheese for those that want extra.
On large buns, layer pulled chicken, cheese sauce, toasted bacon bread crumbs and pickled sliced jalapeño chiles.
Recipe may be altered to add jalapenos to the chicken as well as the cheese, however you may want a small side of extra cheese, sometimes I replace the cheese in the chicken with cream cheese and leave the cheese sauce warm in a sauce pan and use both. Recipes can be altered for you particular taste.
So yummy!
