BBQ Pulled Chicken with Apple Slaw
Submitted by:Rachel Gargano
I used to think making pulled chicken was difficult. Or would take a long time. I mean, there must be some crazy technique that goes into cooking something so dang delicious! But no. It's as easy as:
- Saute chicken
- Add BBQ sauce
- Rip apart with a fork
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/3 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite flavor)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 large apple (red, crispy, and sweet!), cut into matchsticks {Julienned}
- 1/2 English cucumber, seeds cut out, julienned
- 3 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- A couple cracks of salt and pepper
- 2 large or 4 small whole wheat (If you're in a post-workout grain window)
Instructions
- In a medium saute pan, heat oil over medium-high heat and add chicken. Crack pepper over chicken and cook, browning all sides, for about 8 minutes.
- Add BBQ sauce, cover, and simmer for another 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Using 2 forks, shred chicken (while still in the pan with the delicious bbq sauce!). Then mix with bbq sauce in pan over low heat to warm.
- In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, honey, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper. Then pour over scallions, apple and cucumber, toss to mix.
- Top a bun or salad with chicken and slaw - enjoy!
