Basic BBQ Chicken-
1 package of Chicken Tenders
1-2 Tbl Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (I really like Sweet Baby Ray's Original)
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large skillet preheat 1-2 Tbl of Extra Virgin Olive Oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and saute tenders until cooked through. Salt and Pepper to taste.
BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potatoes-
Additional Ingredients:
4 Russet Baking Potatoes
Sour Cream
Scallions
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Clean potatoes thoroughly using warm water. Prick repeatedly with a fork to allow steam to escape potatoes while cooking. Bake in oven or toaster oven at 425 degrees for 40-60 minutes depending on size of potatoes.
Dice cooked chicken into small cubes. Drain off any remaining liquid from skillet and return chicken to skillet over low heat. Add enough BBQ sauce to cover chicken thoroughly (approximately 1/2 bottle).
Once baked potatoes are cooked through, slice open and puff filling with a fork. Load the top of the potatoes with a heaping portion of BBQ chicken. Top with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and sliced scallions.
Shortcut for baking potatoes: I start my baked potatoes in the microwave oven to reduce the baking time. I clean them and prick them and then put in a microwave safe container, uncovered, for 5 minutes on high. Then I flip the potatoes and microwave for 3 more minutes. I then transfer to a toaster over at 400 degrees for another 20 minutes. This will reduce the cooking time on this recipe to under 30 minutes!
Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches-
Additional Ingredients:
4 hamburger buns
Sliced American Cheese
Using two forks, shred chicken tenders once cooked through. Drain off any remaining liquid from the skillet and return chicken to pan over low heat. Add enough BBQ sauce to coat shredded chicken thoroughly (approximately 1/2 bottle). Load BBQ chicken on to a hamburger bun and top with a slice or two of American cheese.
