BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich

 

Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (2 lbs of chicken)

Place broth, seasoning salt, garlic powder and pepper into the Instant Pot inner pot. Stir.

Add the chicken breasts and put the lid on.

Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. (15 for frozen chicken.) It will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure and start counting down. Once the cook time is over, turn the Instant Pot off and let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. 

Open the lid and drain about half of the liquid. Shred the chicken breasts with the remaining liquid in the pot and serve as desired. To freeze, let cool to room temperature before placing in freezer bags.

For the BBQ Pulled Chicken Sandwich:

Drain the liquid off. (It's ok to leave a little behind.) Add a cup or so of BBQ Sauce. I use my Memphis Style Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce. Set the instant pot for 5 minutes. Let it cool. While it cools, toast buns. Top the toasted bottom with the drained BBQ chicken mixture. Add slaw and top with bread and butter pickles.

Mama's Slaw

 

OK, this is as close as I can get to a recipe for Mama’s Slaw. I started watching Mama make this slaw when I was little and graduated to helping. She never measured. It was always a splash of this or a sprinkle of that. So, I hope this describes enough for you to follow. It just takes practice to get the taste right… 

Mama's Slaw

1 Head Cabbage, grated
2 Carrots, grated
Mayonnaise, 1/2 cup or more to bind
Lemon Juice, 1 teaspoon or so
Sugar, 1 teaspoon or so
Salt & Pepper to taste

Grate the cabbage, then grate the carrots. I usually look at the color to know how many carrots to use. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. (Probably about a teaspoon or so) Sprinkle with lemon juice. I usually put two fingers over the mouth of the bottle and sprinkle about three or four shakes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add enough mayo to bind it together. It will get soupier as it sits. Taste and adjust your seasonings.

Just For Fun ~ What it takes to make 15 Gallons of Mama's Slaw

30-32 large heads of Cabbage

5 lbs of Carrots

3 or 4 gallons of Mayonnaise

(Depends on the yield from the cabbage)

1 bottle Lemon Juice

1 bag Sugar

Salt and Pepper

Multiple Coolers and Zip-Loc Bags

3 stations:
Peeling and cutting Carrots and Cabbage
Grinding Carrots and Cabbage
Mixing (Notice that I had to use one of the babies' chairs
 as a stool because the bowl/tote was so big! LOL)

Elliott took the pictures, 

but he was on the Cutting and Peeling Station.
The hubby was grinding and I was mixing.

And, THIS is the look I get 

when I try to tell him how to do something! LOL
