Happy Labor day weekend

If you are looking for something to make for this Labor day weekend then this is the meal to make. It's quick, easy, and can feed a bunch of people without requiring a lot of time in the kitchen.

Shredded BBQ chicken

2 chicken breasts

1 can tomato paste

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup BBQ sauce

1 sliced onion

spices: 1 tsp. each cumin, smoked paprika, basil, oregano, garlic powder, chili flakes

dash salt and pepper

Combine everything in a crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours.

Once done shred chicken and serve

You can't have BBQ chicken without a nice crunchy slaw. This one is perfect with a seasonal summer twist with the addition of nectarines.

Summer nectarine slaw

1 bag shredded cabbage cole slaw mix

1 sliced red bell pepper

2 diced nectarines

Dressing

1.5 tsp. garlic gold oil

1.5 tsp. sesame oil

1 TB. rice vinegar

1 TB. soy sauce

1 TB. raw honey

juice of 1 lime

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

Mix dressing, cabbage, red pepper, and nectarines together. Let marinate for 1 hour or longer. If you would like a crunchy cole slaw I would suggest marinating for an hour. If you would like a soft more traditional cole slaw marinate for 2-3 hours.

Toss and serve.

Served with a side of creamy millet grits. This was an amazing summer dinner. The best part, it was so simple to create and would be perfect for a picnic or BBQ.

So many yummy things you can create with a bowl of shredded BBQ chicken.

Hmm what shall I create.
