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!

Creamy Chicken Enchiladas

  Creamy Chicken Enchiladas: This yummy recipe for chicken enchiladas is sure to be a crowd pleaser and be a hit even with picky eaters! It is super easy and adaptable, you can whip it up in a snap while catering to your families health needs/preferences and individual tastes :)  What I love most is that I can prep multiple dishes all at once, one for tonight and one for later in the week or to pop in the freezer for a night I am short on time and but want to provide a homecooked meal for my family (double bonus🙌).  First start with gathering all your ingredients:  -Tortillas: Either store bought or homemade ( I love to use flat out brand, 5 grain fold it tortilla's (healthier version) or Mission whole wheat or flour tortillas (my kiddos prefer these as they are a bit softer and less chewy texture).  -Meat: Chicken (or any other meat could be substituted. *I also love to use ground elk or organic grass fed ground beef, both are equally delicious) -Rice: Basmati...

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...
