BBQ Salsa Shredded Chicken

Let me preface this post by apologizing for the awful moniker this poor recipe has been given. Maybe I will come up with something better at a later date, but who has time for that right now? Anyway, a friend of mine was telling me of a dip recipe she often takes to pot luck events, Buffalo Chicken Dip (I know, sounds so much more appealing). I decided to try to make this appetizer, pot luck dish into a dinner. Here goes nothing!


BBQ Salsa Shredded Chicken
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup mild or medium salsa
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
8 oz. cream cheese
Hamburger buns


Cook the chicken in any way, shape or form you like (mine was frozen so I baked it first, then gave it a nice sear in a cast iron skillet; you could grill it, bake, boil it, whatever). Let the chicken rest about 5  minutes once it finishes cooking, then shred it and set aside. 


Combine the salsa and BBQ sauce and heat over medium heat in a large skillet with the shredded chicken. Once it is well combined, reduce heat to low and cut the cream cheese block into cubes; add to skillet. Stir until well combined.


Serve the shredded chicken open faced on the hamburger buns. Try shredded pork too for a different variation!
