It really amazes me how fast the year flies by. I know we’re only in March, but we’re two days away from the first day of spring – not that we would know it from the weather or anything! Before this morning’s 1 inch coating of snow, I did spot a hyacinth and daffodil beginning to sneak up out of the ground. Two of my favorite flowers. Spring is such an embodiment of hope, isn’t it? Hope that no matter how cold the winter may get, beautiful things are coming. I love that God does that. He takes a situation that really seems impossible, and not only accomplishes the tasks, but makes it even more beautiful than we could imagine. Yep. So what does this have to do with these Shredded Chicken BBQ Sandwiches? Spring it coming, people! I can just see you with your family on a blanket spread out on the grass, letting the kids run around in the warm weather with some of these sandwiches fixed up for them. I hope you are as excited for spring as I am! These sandwiches are SO good! The combination of the ingredients gives it a sweet and tangy BBQ flavor – yum!More recipes you’ll love: Grilled Chicken with White BBQ Sauce Peach Cobbler Bread Copycat BBQ Chicken Snack Wrap Freezer Breakfast Sandwiches If you liked this recipe, leave a rating and a comment below this post!

Thrifty Frugal Mom says April 29, 2014 at 5:16 pm Approx. how many cups of chicken? Maybe 3? I keep cooked, shredded chicken in the freezer and would like to just use that. Reply
