This is hands down my family’s favorite 30 minute meal. Can you believe it only took me 30 minutes to put it together?! I am all about making healthy tasty meals FAST, especially on the weeknights when we are all so busy.

Do you look for fast recipes to help get you through the weekday madness? I definitely do. I know it can be hard to set aside an hour or two after a long day of work and kid’s activities to make a healthy meal at home. But don’t worry, I’ve gotcha covered. And these little sliders are going to be a HIT with the whole family!

Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Sliders — The perfect finger food!

Sometimes I enjoy making my own sauces from scratch, but when I am in a hurry I depend on some reputable brands to get me through. Tonight I used the brand The New Primal Noble Mustard BBQ sauce which I highly recommend, but Primal Kitchen also has one I love. Go ahead and use your favorite but check the label first. Ideally, it should have very little added sugar and should be sweetened with fruit juices or some other natural food. The New Primal sweetens there’s with pineapple juice and there is only 3g of carbs and less than 1g of sugar per serving. Primal Kitchen has no sweeteners besides tomatoes and has only 2-3g carbs and 0g sugars.

I poached my chicken in water because that is the absolute fastest way to poach chicken, but you could also put them in a crock pot for 4-5 hours on low or purchase a rotisserie chicken and shred that yourself. Don’t overthink it!
