Italian Pulled Chicken and Kale Sliders

Ingrédients

  • 1 Batch of Homemade Tomato Sauce
  • 2 Frozen Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup chopped Kale
  • 2 cups of the tomato sauce listed above
  • 10 Small Whole Wheat buns
  • 5 oz of fancy shredded mozzarella or Mexican Cheese Blend

Methode

 

Once the sauce prep is finished add 2 frozen chicken breasts to the pot.

Let them stew for at least 2 hours until cooked through.

Remove the breasts from the sauce and place in a smaller pot. Shred the chicken with 2 forks.

Do the best you can.

It’s ok if you have some larger chunks, it will get easier to shred as we begin to cook it again.

Add in 2 cups of sauce and kale and begin to cook over medium-high heat.

Stir everything together and bring to a boil. Little bubbles will form on the edges.

Lower to a simmer cook for at least 30 minutes letting everything combine and thicken.

Serve immediately or place in the fridge overnight and reheat on the stove for dinner the next day.

Note: I lost some of the photos I took when making the sandwiches the next day. The rest are from my first batch

When ready to serve preheat broiler.

Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Layout out slider buns and top with 1/4 cup of the chicken. Top with 1/2 ounce of shredded cheese. Place sliders in the broiler until cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes.

The recipe yields about 4.5 cups, enough to make 10 sliders. Of course you don’t have to serve them that way. I have eaten a scoop over baby spinach topped with cheese and also in a low carb wrap. The Pulled Chicken and kale is yummy all by itself.

However, here’s the nutritional info 2 sliders, what I consider a serving…
