Light BBQ Sandwich

Hi there, whew. What a day. I made this recipe for a cook while I’m gone kind of dish. It’s super easy to throw together and it tastes great. I put the chicken tenderloins in the crock pot in the morning with a glass full of water and 1/4 cup of light BBQ sauce.

When I got home, I started preparing the meal by straining and shredding the chicken (which was kind of falling apart on its own by this time).

Once it was shredded, I mixed in fat free shredded cheddar. I then placed the mixture onto a bun and topped it with light BBQ sauce. In retrospect I realized that I should have mixed the BBQ sauce in with the meat… I’m not exactly a regular eater of BBQ.

Either way, it was a super light, filling, and tasty dinner. Using chicken and light BBQ sauce really helped keep the calories down for this recipe. Definitely use some sort of red hot sauce with this! It will add a lot of zest without any calories!
