I have been using Shipt grocery delivery at the beach house
even before Covid 19 because it is so convenient
I wanted to make something easy for the boys supper time arrival last Thursday,
they love tacos, they love BBQ, they love pineapple…
BBQ chicken in the slow cooker would be perfect for a taco dinner!
I decided to make BBQ Chicken tacos topped with a fruit filled slaw
Put the chicken into a sprayed slow cooker and cover with BBQ sauce
Cook on high 3-4 hours {low 6-8}
Your chicken will be so tender you can shred it with 2 forks
I wanted to make Pineapple Coleslaw from Happier Than a Pig in Mud
But when my shopper text me that the coleslaw mix on my list wasn’t available,
she suggested broccoli slaw
Hmmm…. that would actually be even better!
I could make a variation of one of our favorites
This slaw starts with Broccoli Slaw mix in a bag
and gets the irresistible addition of fresh pineapple,
red grapes, bacon and cheese
I dressed the slaw with a dash of rice vinegar and seasoned it with salt & pepper
Then I decided to add just a touch of honey mustard to bind it together
With all the goodies this slaw has in it, even picky eaters won’t notice the broccoli!
I lightly fried flour tortillas in a scant about of olive oil and butter
to use as the taco shell
This meal is also super easy because everyone can help themselves
and build their own taco
Pile shredded BBQ chicken on a tortilla
Top with slaw
Fold it over and dinner is ready!
