BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders

BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders

Remember the BBQ Pulled Chicken recipe that I did in the slow cooker the other day? Well it made quite a lot of food, and there was certainly leftovers to go around. I wanted to put something nice together that makes the leftovers seem like a new dish completely. All in all, this takes pretty little effort to put together. Just mixing together the batter for the buns, and the rest is almost auto-pilot cooking. From start to finish it took me maybe 30 minutes - so this would be a great meal if ...

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

This white chicken chili is packed full of green chilies and chicken thighs. It creates a generous 12 cup batch that is sure to leave some delicious leftovers. A fun alternative to traditional beef chilies. It's simple to cook, and fast to cleanup, if you use your Instant Pot. If you don't own an Instant Pot then you could brown the chicken and onions on a stovetop, then simmer the chili in a slow cooker for 6-8 hours. It's a bit protein heavy, so just keep that in mind when planning ...

There is nothing better than a hot, cheesy dip, and this one is no exception. Whisk this creamy dip out of the bowl with pork rinds or celery sticks. It's packed full of salty bacon, cheddar cheese, and fresh chunks of tomato. While this is a great recipe to whip up for parties, I like serving this when we're just home catching up on our favorite shows too. It's a quick crowd pleaser, and people will definitely ask you for this recipe! Instead of baking in the oven, feel free to cook ...
