Ingredients
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 sandwich buns
- 1/2 cup coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Place a pan on the stovetop over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing it to warm up to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Cook chicken with BBQ sauce: Add the shredded chicken to the pan followed by 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Stir everything together thoroughly to coat the chicken well.
- Heat through: Continue cooking the chicken mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
- Toast the buns: Lightly toast the sandwich buns in a separate pan or toaster until warm and slightly crispy, enhancing the texture and flavor.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Layer the BBQ chicken evenly on the bottom half of each bun. Add 2 tablespoons of coleslaw on top if desired, then cover with the top bun.
- Serve warm: Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a convenient, time-saving option.
- Add pickles for extra tangy flavor and crunch.
- Ideal for quick lunches or easy dinners.
