Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 2 Lean Meat; 1 Vegetable; 1/2 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbs.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve shredded chicken on whole-wheat buns, some barbecue sauce and side of coleslaw (to make the slaw, mix coleslaw mix with mayo, add a splash of rice vinegar and you're good to go). If you want an authentic barbecue experience, slap the coleslaw right on the buns and eat the whole thing together.

VEGETARIANS: Throw everything into the crock-cooker plus the drained presoaked beans. Add 1 can of veggie broth and an additional cup or more of water to make sure beans are covered. When beans are cooked, serve in bowls with additional barbecue sauce and cornbread.
