Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cooked
- 4 hamburger buns
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce of choice (or more, to taste)
- coleslaw (optional)
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Start by shredding leftover roast chicken. If there are any bones or skin, remove them. You'll want the tender chicken meat for your sandwich.
- Place the shredded chicken in a skillet over medium heat. Add your favorite BBQ sauce and stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Let it simmer for a 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
- While your chicken is heating up, lightly toast your hamburger buns in the oven or on a stovetop griddle. This step adds a delightful crunch to your sandwich, but you can skip it if you prefer them un-toasted.
- Once the buns are toasted, assemble your BBQ Chicken Sandwiches. Start with a generous portion of BBQ chicken on the bottom bun. If you like some crunch and freshness, add coleslaw on top. Finish it off with a few pickles for that tangy kick.
- Plate your BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and serve.
