Who doesn’t love BBQ? With Summer here I am sure you all are itching to get the grill fired up! Or, you could be like me, and have your outdoor kitchen area isn’t ready quite yet. We have a smoker and a grill that are just SCREAMING to be used, and they are about 99% ready…but they aren’t there just yet ๐Ÿ™

But that’s not going to stop me from enjoying BBQ! No way! That’s why I love this BBQ Chicken Pockets Recipe. It has all the BBQ flavor and I prepped everything in the crockpot. So, it’s an easy and delicious recipe!

I got together a few ingredients and I was ready to get started.   I added in the carrots and green peppers for some hidden veggies and added crunch.

I love using shredded chicken in recipes, it’s so easy to make!  Just toss your chicken in the crockpot with a little chicken broth and leave it sit until it’s nice and tender!   Once my chicken was ready, I removed it from the crockpot, used 2 forks to shred it and then added the chicken, Stubb’s Original Bar B-Q Sauce, and the veggies back into the crockpot.

I let everything simmer on low in the crockpot for about an hour.  I wanted the veggies tender and the BBQ sauce to be good and soaked into the chicken.

Next up is making the “pockets”.  When you unroll the crescent rolls, don’t separate them into triangles.  Leave them as the rectangle shape and do your best to get rid of the perforation, so that the juices stay in ๐Ÿ™‚  Just use your fingers to squeeze the sides together.

I stuffed mine pretty good.  You will fill half of it with the BBQ chicken mixture then fold the top of it.  Use the fork to seal the sides closed, and once again – check the perforation along the top.  Use your fingers to pinch them closed if needed.

I topped mine with Sharp Cheddar Cheese before tossing them into the oven…who doesn’t love some melted cheese?!
