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)
