BBQ shredded chicken sliders

 Hi friends,

Today I'm sharing one of our favorite chicken recipes: BBQ Chicken Sliders. It is super simple and can be prepped ahead so you can take with you anywhere or prepare in a hurry to feed your crew. 

1) Start by adding 6-8 frozen chicken breasts (I purchase a big bag of individual flash frozen chicken breasts at Costco) into my Instant Pot and line them side by side. (If chicken will be used only for this recipe create a delicious bbq shredded chicken with: 2 cups of bbq sauce, 1/2 cup of italian dressing, 1/8 cup brown sugar and 1 cup of water to the I.P.)

2) Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the bottom of the I.P. add lid and seal to venting. 

3) Cook on manual for 14-15 minutes and let sit for another 5-10 minutes before doing a quick release.

4) Remove from I.P. and shred chicken while still hot (it should shred easily) * I like to use tongs to shred the meat by lightly twisting the meat apart. 

5) Set meat aside 

6) Prep sliders by slicing your chosen rolls (we like to use Hawaiian rolls or the potato rolls from Costco), setting out all toppings: shredded lettuce, slices of cheese, bbq sauce and any other toppings your family enjoys with sliders. * I like to make this homemade coleslaw  (https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/homemade-coleslaw.html) but I didn't have all the ingredients on hand today so we used shredded salad lettuce instead ;) 

7) Pile a helping of shredded chicken, slices of cheese, shredded lettuce or coleslaw and top with bq sauce (or allow your family to build their own sliders)  

* I made enough shredded chicken to have leftovers for the next night (when I plan to use meat in more than one meal I like to cook it with plain like this recipe) 

To see what I used the leftover shredded chicken for check out my other post here: https://thishomeschoolerslife.blogspot.com/2020/10/cowboy-casserole.html

Happy cooking friends!

Asian Chicken Salad

 Hello friends, This yummy salad recipe is perfect for a light summer night meal, a side dish at a bbq or family gathering & can easily be a delicious addition to any meal all throughout the year. It has always been a huge hit when I've brought it to a potluck and I almost always leave with an empty dish ;)  My family loves when I make this and it is usually devoured, although on the rare occasion we have leftovers they don't last long. I'm sure your family will love this as much as mine & it will soon become one of their favorites :) Asian Chicken salad recipe:    * 1  3oz package of ramen noodles * 1  14oz package coleslaw blend * 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken * 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts * 1/2 cup of craisins (I like using regular or cherry) * 1/2 teaspoon of basil (optional) * 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (optional) * Chopped green onions (optional) Add all ingredients to a large bowl (break ramen noodles into loose pieces) and mix w...

The journey that brought me to homeschooling: part II

Hi friends, Today I thought I'd share about our journey to homeschooling with you. I've had a few inquiries on my Instagram account about what got me into homeschooling lately and I'd love to take you on the journey with me while I reminisce :) So lets go back to the beginning, a little over 9 years ago my kiddos and I were living a completely different life. We were barely hanging on by a thread and just trying to survive another day. That's life, living with an abusive alcoholic and meth addict. I am so grateful and beyond thankful to say that my kiddos and I are survivors of domestic violence/abuse and that we are here, thriving and living an incredible life. One that God has brought so much restoration and healing to, we are safe, happy, healthy and loving the life we are privileged to be living. If you or anyone you know happens to be in a horrible situation, living with a violent partner I encourage you to seek help when it's safe for you/them to do so and t...

Duel Enrollment programs, what are they and how do they work

   Hello friends, One of the questions I've received most often over the past year is what is duel enrollment and how does it work. Ever since we decided our daughter would participate in the program we have had many questions from family and friends. Mainly out of intrigue and interest, but I’m sure some curiosity about what the program is and how it works ;)  As most of our friends and family know, our daughter began her first year as a duel enrolled student at the beginning of this school year. She is both a junior in high school & enrolled as a freshmen at our local community college. The program she is enrolled in allows her to simultaneously earn both her high school credits and a years worth of college credits while she completes prerequisites at the community college. Depending on your child's interests and level of commitment to the program it is possible for a student that is enrolled to graduate high school & receive an AA degree at the same time. ...
