Baked Cheesy BBQ Chicken

March 2, 2023 Amanda Plott

Dinner truly doesn’t get more simple or easy than this Baked Cheesy BBQ Chicken. With just a handful of ingredients you can have the main part of dinner done and ready to go. It’s basic. Simple. Easy. And cheesy! To start this easy dinner off, you mix up some BBQ sauce with a little extra garlic goodness.

After that you marinate, if you have time, and then bake it until it’s almost done. It’s then topped off with cheese, red onion, and some pickled jalapeños to give just a little kick! I lightened this up by using a reduced fat cheese, but other than that there really isn’t much else to do since there’s so few ingredients…

BBQ Chicken Dip

Like I said, I’m busting out the game day recipes as we roll into football season this year. We’ve got to make up for missing out on game day spreads for a year now! And this BBQ Chicken Dip is sure to be a real crowd pleaser. Shredded chicken, bbq sauce, and cheese make up this delicious and easy to make dip. Really, it doesn’t get more easy to make than this dip right here.

One of my favorite parts about this dip though is that it will vary and change entirely depending on what kind of BBQ sauce you use in it. Like something spicy? Use a spicy sauce? Maybe you’re a sweet heat fan? Give that one a try! The point is, you get to make it your own with your favorite…

Instant Pot Ribs

Look, sometimes a girl just needs to eat some BBQ. I’ll be honest, I’ve never actually cooked ribs on my own. I’ve eaten plenty of them. But cooking them? It just sounds scary! Even as a native Texan, the thought of cooking GOOD ribs seems daunting. So when I cam across the idea of cooking them in the pressure cooker? I was sold.

These Instant Pot Ribs are pretty damn good for what they are. No smoking. No marinating. Just rub them down and pop them in the pressure cooker before finishing them off with a quick roast under the broiler. Yep. It’s just that easy…

Cranberry BBQ Chicken Bites (Instant Pot)

Summers are for BBQs! The only thing is... it's really hot out right now in Texas. I mean... really hot. We're hovering just outside of the three digit thermometer reads, but let me just say that it doesn't feel like it. Since it's so hot out, I'm opting to stay inside where it's nice and cool. And while normally my oven is in shut-down mode for a couple more months, these BBQ chicken bites were worth it to cook inside today!

Being a native Texan, I can tell you that BBQ is big business here. It's serious business. So you know when I say that BBQ is good, that you can take my word for it. I'm not shy when it comes to playing around with the flavors of BBQ sauce, and this Cranberry BBQ sauce is no different. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a new family favorite…

It's the last week of school here for my little one and I am SO ready for summer, just like I know the rest of you are. I am ready to sleep in a bit in the mornings and take things slow for a little while. This end-of-the-year rush is no joke. My kid is exhausted. I'm exhausted. We're all exhausted. And that's why I'm sticking to quick and easy dinners right now.

These BBQ Pork Tenderloin Sliders are made in just at 30 minutes with the help of my electric pressure cooker and the quick pickled red onions on top are even easier! See? There is hope after all during this end of the year crunch time!…

She shoots... she scores! Annnd the crowd goes wild!

These Skinny BBQ Beef & Cheddar Bites are a slam dunk! As a Texan, I'm a girl that knows her way around both game-day and BBQ. So, when I'm trying to get into the spirit and prepare for the big tournament, I more often than not combine the two into one perfectly popable bite!

I know that with planning on watching a game with friends and family, it's best to make snacks that are quick, easy, and mostly hands off. That's why I love to use my electric pressure cooker and a few other kitchen hacks along the way...
