The Freshman Cook: Fire Roasted Pulled Chicken Sandwiches and a Giveaway!

Every Halloween, it has been a tradition in our house to have sloppy joes or pulled pork bbq for dinner before trick or treating. I love this tradition, and even though my son is now away at college, my husband and I continue it. This year, however, I am adding something a little different to our pre trick or treat meal.  I received a sample of some of the new Recipe Starters Cooking Sauces from Progresso. I couldn’t wait to make the Pulled Chicken Sandwiches, which start with the Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce. OMG, how delish!!!! So quick to make after a long day at work, or just a busy day in general. This meal came together in no time!

 Here is how quick it was to make the

Pulled Chicken Sandwiches 

w/ Fire Roasted Tomato Sauce

  • 1 can Progresso Recipe Starters Fire Roasted Tomato cooking sauce
  • 1/4 cup Yellow Mustard
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 4 cups Shredded Chicken
  • 8 Soft Buns

Grill some chicken breast, or

use a deli rotisserie chicken also!

While your chicken is grilling, mix together the 

Progresso Fire Roasted Tomato Cooking Sauce,

mustard, worcestershire sauce, sugar and chili powder.

Heat to simmering over medium high heat.

Pull your chicken apart after it cools a bit. 

Stir it in to the sauce.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes.

Stir occasionally.

 Yum!  Doesn’t that look great!?

Serve on a roll with cole slaw and oven fries!

Wasn’t that fast! 

Progresso has created 80 different recipes using their new line of sauces.

The new Progresso Recipe Starters Cooking Sauces are inspired by the five “mother” sauces that form the basis for french cooking. They are available in Fire Roasted Tomato, Creamy Parmesan Basil, Creamy Roasted Garlic w/ Chicken Stock, Creamy Portabello Mushroom, and Creamy Three Cheese.  Check out their web page for all the recipes and some money saving coupons!
