Tapas Style: Pulled Barbecue and Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Onions
8 Chicken Breast Tenderloins
1 C. Your Choice BBQ Sauce
1/2 C. Franks Hot Sauce, +extra
2 Tbsp. Butter
2 Large Yellow or White Onions
2 Tbsp. Butter, Split into two
2. Tsp. Garlic, Minced, Split into two separate teaspoons
1/4 C. Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 C. Crumbled Bleu Cheese
I chose to cook the chicken in the slow cooker. You can also cook it in the oven at about 250 degrees for four hours +. I took two pieces of foil and placed them in the slow cooker with high edges, to ensure the two different sauces would not mix. Turn slow cooker to high. Add half of the cup of BBQ sauce into one side and butter and Frank's Sauce into the other. Place 4 pieces of chicken in to each side and mix well. Cover. This should cook for about 4 hours. After one hour, use fork to pull apart chicken. If it does not come apart easily, cook for another 45 minutes before doing so again. Halfway through, add the other half of the BBQ sauce and extra Frank's sauce. Mix again.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut a small part off the bottom of the onions so they will sit flat, then cut the top off and remove the inside of the onion. Peel completely if desired (I chose not to so it would have extra support after cooking). Place 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tsp. minced garlic into each onion.
Place in oven for approx. 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Turn oven to high broil setting. Place BBQ chicken into one onion and Buffalo chicken into the other onion.
Cover the BBQ chicken in Mozzarella Cheese and the Buffalo Chicken in Bleu Cheese. Place back in oven for another 5-8 minutes, until the cheese on top begins to bubble and brown.
