Asian Pulled Chicken

Asian Puled Chicken
Asian Puled Chicken

Summer is coming, grilling has ramped up, camping is around the corner and I’m all about the grill this year. And pulled meat. With Canadian Beef prices here in Canada skyrocketing, there won’t be much beef in our house this year. It’s a sad state of affairs when you can actually buy lobster cheaper than Alberta beef. Here’s hoping things change and we get back to some better prices.

In light of watching our beef intake, we came up with this Asian Pulled Chicken recipe cooked in our slow cooker. I’ve played with these flavours many times before and decided with a broken stove I needed to get creative with dinners. So I pulled out the slow cooker, added all my favourite ingredients and success! Asian Pulled Chicken was born.

Since my chicken breasts were boneless it’s important to note they will cook quickly. I gave them 1.5 – 2 hours tops in the slow cooker before I pulled them out avoiding dry chicken. Wrapped them in foil and set them aside until ready. Boneless chicken breasts will take a little longer and hold the moisture. I pulled the chicken apart with my fingers and put the leftover liquid into a saucepan to reduce and intensify flavours.

I topped this chicken with some sliced green onions and served with buns. Feel free to add a slaw or dressed green salad as a topper.

Sammy’s On A Stick

Apr 3, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Change up your kids lunches by adding some fun finger food like these Sammy’s On A Stick!

Sammy's On A Stick include fresh vegetables, bread and your favourite meat

After having looked after little kids including my own for a couple of years, you could say we got really creative with our lunches and snacks!

Lunches have always been fun, interesting and very different then how I grew up. My lunches: typically Bologna sausage on white bread with an apple and orange. Super boring right?

Our Sammy’s On A Stick can use leftover chicken, ham, pork, beef, pepperoni or sausage chunks, or you can use deli meat.

Sometimes I prepare them for the kids and other times I put all the ingredients on the table and let them make their own letting them get completely involved.

Other stick food ideas we’ve tired include:

  • Sausage/Pepperoni & Cheese on a stick
  • Fruit on a stick (ie fruit salad)
  • Veggies (carrot & cucumber) on a stick
  • Pre-cooked cheese tortellini on a stick, served with a container marinara dipping sauce
  • Muffin chunks or cinnamon bagels/cream cheese with strawberries

Ingredient Ideas:

  • Any kind of bread, cheese buns, croissant, bagel, thicker sliced bread (raisin bread)
  • Deli meat or leftover over roast beef, chicken, turkey, ham cut into cubes or folded up
  • Hard cheese cut up into cubes, cheese sticks cut up, mini bocconcini balls
  • Vegetables: lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumber cubes, carrot coins, celery slices, pepper wedges
  • Fruit, apple works well
  • Pickles or olives, just ensure you keep them away from the bread so you do not end up with soggy bread!

PRO TIPS:

  • Pick up packages of wooden skewers from the dollar store and cut them to size – smaller for small hands and lunch boxes. You can also cut the tips off the skewer if you are concerned about the safety factor.
  • Try to cut each item similar in size
  • If it’s going into a lunch or on a picnic, wrap it with Saran wrap to keep it fresh.

The kids LOVE to eat stick food this way and we love that they eat a good variety of items without hesitation.
