Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Coleslaw (optional)
- 8 slices Pickles (optional)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
Cook the chicken and sauce mixture for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and lightly simmering.
While the chicken is heating, prepare the sandwich buns. Spread butter evenly over the cut sides of the buns.
Toast the buttered buns in a large skillet or on a griddle over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
Assemble the sandwiches by spooning a generous portion of the barbecue chicken onto the bottom half of each toasted bun.
If desired, top the chicken with coleslaw and pickle slices for added crunch and flavor.
Place the top half of the bun over the fillings, gently press down, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your Super Simple Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches with chips, a side salad, or your favorite beverage!
