Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 0.25 cups White vinegar
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Prepared horseradish
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 6 Potato or brioche sandwich buns
- 0.5 cups Pickle slices
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a large pot or Dutch oven. Pour in the chicken broth and add enough water to fully submerge the chicken.
Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the chicken simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.
While the chicken cooks, make the white BBQ sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, white vinegar, horseradish, lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder until smooth. Refrigerate the sauce until ready to use.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and let it cool slightly. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Transfer the shredded chicken to a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the prepared white BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
Toast the sandwich buns, if desired, and divide the pulled chicken evenly among the bottoms of the buns.
Top each sandwich with pickle slices for extra crunch and tanginess, then drizzle more white BBQ sauce over the chicken.
Close the sandwiches with the top buns and serve warm. Enjoy your Pulled Chicken Sandwiches with White BBQ Sauce!
