Chicken Sliders Recipe (Instant Pot Recipe)

By

These barbecue chicken sliders are super easy to make in a pressure cooker, and with this recipe, you can have a meal on the table in under an hour!

Normally, I’d be posting recipes like this for people who are having parties, barbecues or even for those going tailgating this time of year. But my goodness, how times have changed!

And up close shot of a prepared chicken slider sitting on a white plate, ready to eat.

It’s amazing how life can change in the blink of an eye. All this social distancing is a little tough on the tailgating crowd, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy a delicious tailgate-style meal with those in your home. I’m fortunate enough to have a nice back yard with a fire pit these days, so Mini Chef and I are putting that to good use this summer, and a meal like this one is exactly what we need to complete our summer evenings.

WHY INSTANT POT CHICKEN SLIDERS?

Because it’s just so dang easy!! This is more like a “dump chicken” recipe. You literally just dump everything in your Instant Pot, push the buttons, and in a little over 30 minutes (accounting for the time it takes to come to pressure), you have dinner ready to go! The only real effort required is in shredding the chicken. And if you haven’t heart already, a hand-held, electric beater/mixer will do that job for you in seconds. Easy peasy lemon squeezey!

The only thing you may want to do ahead of time, is make your barbecue sauce. If you prefer to buy it, Bone Suckin’ Sauce is excellent stuff and fits well with clean eating principles.

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT CHICKEN SLIDERS?

These smaller, hand-sized sandwiches are perfect for get togethers or casual meals. I used the bread available to me, which was a pull-apart bun. But you can use any whole grain roll (to keep it in line with clean eating), that doesn’t have sugar added.

  • These are great for kids! Perfectly sized for their little hands!
  • They make great appetizers, if you have some very hungry people to feed.
  • They’re finger food! Who doesn’t like finger food?
  • And lastly, they are smaller portions, so you won’t accidentally overeat. Serve one or two with a green salad or some coleslaw, and you have a complete meal!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
