Chicken BBQ Sliders

I am always looking for some different recipes to make so that we don't become bored with what is on the table.

I think the Summer months can be the most difficult because of the heat when you don't want to cook anything heavy or that could heat up the house.  I know that is my situation.  Yes you can use the grill, but sometimes I find that becomes "old" quickly, unless you are a big fan of burgers or steaks. Don't get me wrong we love those too but not every day every week.

I love my SmartSteamer by Tupperware.  I use it all the time for so many things.  This is an awesome recipe for any time of year, but for the summer it is awesome.  No more heating up the kitchen (and the rest of the house) because most of the cooking is done in the microwave.  Now don't be turning up your nose cooking in the microwave...with Tupperware, there are so many things that you can make that unless you tell them, they won't know it is from the microwave.
