Introduction
Got this from cooking light courtesy of myrecipes.com (changed it up just a tad) by making it in the crockpot instead. Coated chicken in spice rub mixture and pan seared it then place it in the crockpot with the prepared sauce recipe. Cooked on high for 3 hours. Made about 8 1/3 cup servings (used a total of 2 chicken breats-4 chicken breast halves).

Ingredients
Chicken:
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper ( I used 1/8 tsp of cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 Boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 chicken breast halves)
Sauce:
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses
(The following ingredients are not included in the nutritional value)
Remaining ingredients:
8 (2-ounce) sandwich rolls, toasted
16 bread and butter dill chips
Directions
To prepare chicken, combine first 7 ingredients in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture evenly over chicken. Place chicken on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; cover and grill 20 minutes or until a thermometer registers 180°, turning occasionally. Let stand for 5 minutes. Shred with 2 forks.
To prepare sauce, heat canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and next 5 ingredients (through pepper); cook 30 seconds. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, and molasses; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in chicken; cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
Place about 1/3 cup chicken mixture on bottom halves of sandwich rolls; top each serving with 2 pickle chips and top roll half.
