Pulled BBQ Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 1.        3-4 pounds of boneless chicken breast
  • 2.        BBQ sauce (I am very generous and just pour enough to cover the chicken)
  • 3.        2-3 tablespoons of Italian dressing (although I have to be honest I don’t measure and just poor a bit in)

Directions

  • 1.        Spray your crock pot or instant pot. Place chicken, BBQ sauce, and Italian dressing inside and mix well. Cook on low for 6-8 hours (for thawed chicken 7 hours worked for me). Once cooked, pull chicken with a fork.

Coleslaw

Ingredients

  1. 1- 16 ounce bag of coleslaw mix
  2. 1/2 cup of Avocado mayo (I love Primal Kitchen)
  3. 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  4. 1 tablespoon of honey

Instructions

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Let chill until you are ready to dish up. I like to make earlier in the day so that way everything can marinate together.

Roasted Potatoes/ Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  1. 2 russet potatoes, diced
  2. 2 sweet potatoes, diced
  3. Olive oil
  4. Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 (I like to use convection mode on my oven)
  2. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper
  3. Combine potatoes and olive oil (I usually just pour enough to coat the potatoes so I don’t typically have a measurement) in bowl and coat well.
  4. Place potatoes on sheet pan and season with salt and pepper (You could use garlic powder, paprika, etc or what other seasonings you would prefer)
  5. Cook potatoes for 20 minutes and flip. Depending on how crispy they are at time of first flip, I will typically cook for at least 10 minutes and recheck, cooking longer if needed.

**Serve however you choose. I like to serve as a BBQ chicken bowl with diced sweet potatoes and coleslaw. My husband likes to eat it as a pulled chicken sandwich. This makes for great leftovers, whether for lunch or dinner.
