  • 1 tsp garlic Minced
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ cup red onion (thinly sliced)
  • cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 18 rolls (I used sweet Hawaiian rolls and split in half)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)

Instructions
 

  • Add barbecue sauce, garlic, onion powder, and pepper to a 6-quart slow cooker. Mix until well combined.
  • Place the chicken in the barbecue sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Add back into sauce and mix until well combined.
  • Preheat oven to 350°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the bottom half of the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Spread out the shredded chicken on the rolls. Next, put the onions and cheese on top. Then add the top of the rolls.
