Recipe Share: Shredded Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Blue Cheese Aioli

This sandwich recipe from Kelsey Nixon has the perfect balance of flavors and textures. I love it so much, the first time I made it for dinner I ended up eating it for lunch and dinner the next day, too. I couldn't get enough!! It's not too spicy, but has enough kick to satisfy. I also love that you make this meat in your crockpot. It's so easy to just throw everything in, and then assemble your sandwiches at dinnertime.

Ingredients:
1/4 C. hot sauce
1/4 C. Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbsp. molasses
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, chopped
14 oz. can tomato sauce
2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and freshly ground pepper
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted (I like to eat it on an Orowheat sandwich thin bun)
Celery leaves, for serving
Blue Cheese Aioli, for serving, recipe follows

Blue Cheese Aioli:

1/2 C. crumbled blue cheese

1/3 C. mayonnaise

1 tsp. fresh tyme leaves

1 clove garlic, minced

(I usually add a few teaspoons of milk just to loosen up the aioli a bit, but either way it's great.)

Combine all ingredients and mix well. (I also add pepper to mine.)

Directions:

Add the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, garlic, onions, and tomato sauce to a slow cooker and stir to mix ingredients together.

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and freshly ground pepper liberally and add chicken to the slow cooker, coating evenly with the sauce. Cover and cook on low until chicken is tender, 4-6 hours.

Transfer chicken to a large bowl and shred, using 2 forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and toss to coat with the sauce.

Toast your buns, and compile your sandwiches by smearing each side of the buns with blue cheese aioli and then topping one half with celery leaves. Then add the chicken and enjoy!

Try these soon. You will love them and may eat them over and over like I did.

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends. I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas.

Father's Day is coming up! We love our Jason, and we like to surprise him with special gifts. I wanted to share a few things my kids and I have loved doing for Jason. These Pinhole Press board books are so adorable and easy to do. The kids love looking at them, and Jase cried when he first saw them. They made his day! Making a slideshow for your special guy is also a great idea! We made one for Jason a few years ago, and it was so special and fun. There are many different sites you can use to do that. One that I've used recently is Smile box . It does cost money to use, so be aware of that. You can also use free sites or simply make one using google slides or iMovie. Etsy has some great gifts for Dads. Look at this awesome tee set for a Dad and child. So cute! I love this modern watch/jewelry stand . So manly and clean looking. This docking station is equally awesome. For the Dad who enjoys cooking, you could get him one of these personalized cutting boards . Love ...
