This is for Duffy who wanted a recipe for BBQ chicken sandwiches. This is not a BBQ style, but one my family
likes. You could finish this in a slow cooker after sautéing the onions and celery.

Shredded Chicken Sandwiches

1 Tbs. butter
1 onion, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 Tbs. cornstarch
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste.

Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté onions, celery and 1 Tsp. chicken broth. Continue to sauté for 5 minutes. Add chicken and remaining broth. ( At this time you could add this mixture to a slow cooker and cook until chicken is very tender.) Otherwise, simmer on stove until chicken is tender.

Remove chicken from pan (or slow cooker) and allow to cool until it is easily handled.

Shred chicken, return to pan (slow cooker) and bring to a simmer. Combine cornstarch and milk in a small bowl. Slowly add to chicken mixture, simmering 5 minutes. Continue to simmer and shred chicken until mixture has thickened but still moist, approximately 8-10 minutes. Season with salt an pepper.
Makes 5-6 sandwiches.

Note: I think you might use a little water (instead of the milk) to make a paste of the cornstarch and after mixing into the chicken mixture you could add a 1/2 cup or so of a BBQ sauce of your choice.
