  • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 hamburger buns
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Additional toppings as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place them on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they’re cooked through and have those beautiful grill marks.
  3. During the last few minutes of grilling, brush each chicken breast generously with BBQ sauce, allowing it to caramelize and infuse with flavor.
  4. While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill until they’re golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each bun, place a healthy dollop of creamy avocado, followed by a BBQ-glazed chicken breast. Top with crunchy lettuce leaves and finish by placing the top half of the bun.
  6. Serve your Grilled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches warm and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to customize your sandwich by adding your favorite toppings like sliced red onion, pickles, or cheese. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken and heat it up before assembling the sandwiches. Pair this sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple coleslaw for a complete meal that’s both satisfying and flavorful. Enjoy!
