Description
A quick and comforting BBQ chicken sandwich made with shredded chicken, a sweet and tangy sauce, and topped with melted cheddar cheese on soft potato rolls.
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp dried minced onion
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 hamburger rolls (potato rolls recommended)
Instructions
- Place shredded chicken in a large stockpot.
- Add ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced onion, and chili powder to the pot.
- Stir to combine everything evenly.
- Heat the pot over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
- While the chicken simmers, split the rolls and lay them open-face on a cookie sheet.
- Place one slice of cheddar on the bottom half of each roll.
- Set the cookie sheet under the broiler for 2–3 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts.
- Remove the rolls from the oven when toasted, then spoon the hot BBQ chicken onto the cheesy roll bottoms.
- Cap with the roll tops and serve immediately.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to cut active prep time. Adjust sweetness and tang in the sauce as needed. Serve with classic sides like coleslaw or fries.
