Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

I was really torn about putting this up. I found it in a cookbook and was actually a little offended it actually made it into a cookbook because of how simple and common-sense it is. In fact, I wanted a dime back from the makers of the cookbook because I shouldn't have to PAY for such a recipe. But, here I am, using up internet space to post it here. Here's why: Even though everyone probably already knows to do this, it was the first time I actually tried it and it is actually in my top 10 recipes now because of the response it got! My brother came over last night and tried one, then between he and Husband, they went through 1 and a half loaves of bread making sandwiches. My brother thought I slaved away in the kitchen for hours and said it tasted just like something you would get in a restaurant. Music to my ears. Anyway, here it is. Don't judge me for posting it!

Ingredients:
4-6 chicken breasts (mine were still partially frozen)
1 (18 oz. or larger) bottle of BBQ sauce. You might have one you prefer but if not, I HIGHLY recommend Bull's Eye Original by Kraft.
My own addition: 1-2 onions, chopped

Ingredients for sandwiches:
Bread or rolls, provolone or mozzarella cheese, jalapeno peppers (from a jar) if you like it spicy! (husband and brother's creation)

Directions:
Put chicken in slow cooker.
Put onions on top of chicken, if using.
Dump BBQ sauce over the top.
Cook on LOW 8-9 hours.
About 30 minutes before serving, shred chicken with two forks.

Serve as sandwiches. I also thought after the meat is chilled, you could make a DELICIOUS BBQ chopped salad? Hmm.....
