Health and fertility benefits of BBQ Pulled Chicken Sliders
One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease. Apple cider vinegar will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)
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.
