    June 17, 2019 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

    Yummy, yummy, yummy shredded chicken - made in the Instant Pot!  Adore this shredded chicken - made with beer!

    Instant Pot Coconut Lime Chicken

    April 2, 2019 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

    I adore a good curry meal - and my family does too. But I worked this one up as sort of a "spice-less" option. Curry powder or paste isn't always that spicy - depending on the brand and the amount that you use. This one is similar in nature - without the curry.  Perfect for anyone who just isn't all that into curry.  This meal has a delightful combination of … [Read more...]

    February 28, 2019 by Erin, The $5 Dinner Mom Leave a Comment

    These are seriously good, and the whole family will love them! This chicken is also delightful on salad greens, in a "rice bowl," in a corn or flour tortilla. We love shredded chicken because of how many different ways it can be served. When I make this, I often double up and then let the cooked shredded chicken cool. From there, I'll freeze it like that or make it up … [Read more...]
