Dinner: BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders

This recipe includes superfoods such as:

Honey, Apple Cider Vinegar

Health benefits of BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders

Honey, often hailed as a superfood, possesses a wealth of nutritional benefits that make it a valuable addition to a balanced diet. With a glycemic index (GI) of 55 for one tablespoon, honey is considered a moderate GI food. This means it does not spike blood sugar levels as high or as quickly as high-GI foods, making it a better choice for maintaining steady energy levels and supporting overall health.

Rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids and flavonoids, honey offers protective benefits against oxidative stress and inflammation. These antioxidants can help combat the damage caused by free radicals, which are linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Furthermore, the natural sugars in honey can provide a quick energy boost, making it an excellent option for a pre-workout snack or a natural sweetener in beverages and meals.

Honey's benefits extend beyond its nutritional profile. Its antimicrobial properties make it a natural remedy for wounds and burns, promoting healing by providing a moist environment and acting as a barrier to infection. Additionally, honey has been used for centuries to soothe sore throats and coughs, thanks to its ability to coat the throat and reduce irritation.

However, it's important to consume honey in moderation. While it is a healthier alternative to refined sugar, it is still a form of sugar and can contribute to weight gain and other health issues if consumed in large amounts. For individuals with diabetes or those monitoring their blood sugar levels, it's crucial to account for honey's GI and its effects on blood sugar.

Choosing raw, unprocessed honey can also maximize its health benefits. Raw honey is more likely to retain its antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can be lost during processing. Incorporating honey into your diet can be as simple as adding it to yogurt, drizzling it over oatmeal, or blending it into smoothies. Its natural sweetness and health-promoting properties make honey a superfood worth including in a healthy, balanced diet.

Ingredients

Leftover BBQ Pulled Chicken
1/3 Cup Honeyville Almond Flour
1/4 Cup Flax Seed Meal
3 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
2 Tbsp. Cheddar Cheese (per slider)
2 Large Eggs
4 Tbsp. Butter
8 Drops Stevia
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Southwest Chipotle Seasoning
1 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together 1/3 Cup Almond Meal, 1/4 Cup Flax Seed Meal, 3 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese, 1 tsp. Baking Soda, 1 tsp. Southwest Chipotle Seasoning, and 1 tsp. Paprika.
3. In a microwave safe container, microwave 4 Tbsp. Butter until it’s melted. That’s about 35-40 seconds.
4. Add 2 Large Eggs, 1/2 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar, and the melted butter to the almond flour mixture. I like to not mix the almond flour mixture until the wet ingredients are in there. I normally directly pour my vinegar over the baking soda to make it react with the acid.
5. Mix everything together well and until everything is combined.
6. In a muffin top pan, distribute your batter evenly between 8 holes.\\
7. Put the buns in the oven for 15-17 minutes.
8. While the buns are baking, heat the leftover BBQ Pulled Chicken in a pan, letting the sauce reduce to a thick consistency.
9. Shred some cheddar cheese while you wait. I normally grate about 2 Tbsp. Cheddar Cheese per slider that I will be making.
10. When the buns are finished, take them out of the oven. I use these awesome oven gloves that give really good grips. They’re silicone, give ease of grabbing things, and work exceptionally well with things like cast iron skillets. I ended up getting some after I burned myself on some cookie sheets the other week.
11. Let your buns cool for 1-2 minutes in the pan.
12. Remove the buns from the pan and place on a cooling rack.
13. Once cooled for 5 minutes, cut the buns in half.
14. Spread your cheese on the buns.
15. Add your BBQ Pulled Chicken and top with extra sauce if you’d like.
