Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 4 sandwich buns
  • Pickles, for topping
  • Optional: Coleslaw, for topping

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is heated through and coated in the sauce.
  2. While the chicken is heating, lightly toast the sandwich buns in a toaster or oven.
  3. Once the chicken is ready, divide it evenly among the bottom halves of the toasted buns.
  4. Top the chicken with pickles, adding as many as you desire. If you like, you can also add a layer of coleslaw for some extra crunch and creaminess.
  5. Finally, place the top halves of the buns on each sandwich and serve immediately.

Notes

If you prefer a spicier sandwich, you can add a dash of hot sauce or chili powder to the BBQ sauce. Additionally, to add more depth of flavor, you can sauté some diced onions and garlic before adding the chicken and BBQ sauce. For a lighter option, you can use whole wheat buns or lettuce wraps instead of regular buns. Serve the sandwich with a side of crispy fries, potato salad, or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
