Slow Cooker Ohio Shredded Chicken Sandwiches are a classic comfort food dish that originated in the state of Ohio, United States. This dish holds a special significance in Ohio, where it is often served at gatherings, potlucks, and tailgate parties. The slow-cooked, tender chicken paired with a tangy homemade barbecue sauce makes for a delicious and satisfying sandwich that is loved by people of all ages.
You can enjoy these sandwiches in several ways: first, the classic style, where the tender shredded chicken is piled onto soft hamburger buns or sandwich rolls, complemented by a dollop of coleslaw for a refreshing crunch. Alternatively, transform them into a BBQ extravaganza by heaping the shredded chicken onto a toasted bun, accompanied by baked beans and cornbread, while adding pickle chips for a zesty punch. For those seeking a healthier option, opt for whole wheat buns or lettuce wraps to hold the succulent chicken, pairing it with a side salad or steamed vegetables to create a well-rounded and nutritious meal.
