Today I made:
Barbecue Chicken Sliders with Pickled Onions, Cooking Light August 2010
Broccoli Slaw, Cooking Light August 2010
This was a great meal! And super easy too. It is also part of the
weekend getaway menu I referred to in the last post. Unlike the brisket sandwiches I made last week, which cooked all day, these chicken thighs just cooked in the grill pan for a few minutes (boneless thighs are quite thin) before getting shredded and mixed with the 5-minute sauce. The honey in the sauce made it nice and sweet, and even though I wasn't hungry going into the meal (after we baking bread in lab), I ended up eating two sandwiches just because it was so tasty. This is totally one of those meals that you could make for someone and they would think that you worked hard for it. I made mine normal bun-sized, but as sliders they would be great for a party dish. Also awesome? Excluding the condiments I had on hand, this dinner cost $9 to make (for 4-6 servings).
The slaw was kind of meh... I like the idea of using yogurt instead of mayonnaise to make a healthier cole slaw, but there just wasn't enough dressing (especially since the slaw bag I used was 16 oz instead of 12 oz). The store was out of broccoli slaw, so I just used the normal cabbage kind. The slaw was fine, but nothing special, and there have been
a few other slaws that I've already saved, so I won't keep this one.
