    Hi, Im trying to print off some of your recipes and whenever I go to click “print” on the recipe portion of the page it keeps directing me to this page Scalefinancegroup.net. Is there anyway to get around this? Please let me know, I really love your recipes and am bummed I am unable to print them off 🙁

    I made this tonight but I added just a tad more Cayenne Pepper – it was so good! I served it over rice. My chicken only needed 3 hrs to cook on low .. I shredded it and let sit on warm for another hour so the shredded chicken could absorb the liquid. PERFECT!! Thank you for the recipe!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      I am so glad you liked the recipe 🙂

  • Sara

    Made this tonight. It was super good! My one suggestion would be to include an OZ size on the BBQ sauce. I used a large bottle, and I am pretty sure it was too much. We ended up with a lot of left over sauce. If you are eating this over rice or potatoes, this is a good thing. But on sandwiches, it is way too much sauce. But it did turn out excellent! This might become a staple in our house!

  • Missy

    Wow…yum!! This turned out way better than I expected it to. It was difficult to stop eating! I used a brown sugar BBQ sauce which worked well. I used pineapple chunks which tasted delish right on the sandwich with the shredded chicken!

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      yay!!! Glad you liked it

  • Ann

    This was delicious! We had it over brown rice (and steamed cauliflower!) My boyfriend was just eating the sauce and rice too! Thank you for sharing this!!

  • MTiz

    What is even easier than this one is Target has a Hawaiian BBQ Sauce in their Market Pantry line, that and a can of pineapple chunks with the chicken in the crockpot and make the rice when it is done. It is sooo good!

  • Allie Talley

    I love to serve this on pretzel buns!
