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!

Scrumptious Snickerdoodle Cake

 Hi there friend, We are celebrating my son's birthday this week & his first request was for this homemade cake to be at his party. The recipe was gifted to me from my Aunt J several years ago after it was an instant hit at a family gathering. My hubby isn't a huge chocolate fan (shocking, I know!😉) so this has become his favorite desert that I make & is quickly becoming one of my kiddos faves and I think it will become one of yours as well. It's a delicious combo of light fluffy cake & creamy homemade frosting with an amazing snickerdoodle flavor.  If you love the taste of a snickerdoodle cookie this cake will delight your tastebuds and if you like baking but don't have a lot of time this is the perfect match on both accounts.  Simple to make & savory to the last bite.  It fits the bill for every birthday, holiday, special family event, is sure to be a crowd pleaser and a hit at any potluck, casual gathering & party. I hope you & your loved ...
