Pulled Chicken Sandwiches
Pulled Chicken Sandwiches are a regular meal at my house. They're delicious, full of protein, and SO quick and easy to make!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken breast or 2 cups cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup bbq sauce
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 12 hawaiian rolls*
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Break your rotisserie chicken breast into a few smaller portions. This will help the chicken heat up faster.
- Add the bbq sauce, chicken broth, white vinegar, garlic powder, salt and black pepper to a large pan. Whisk to combine.
- Place the cooked chicken into the pan.
- Heat the the pan over medium low heat for 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is heated through.
- Remove the chicken and shred with two forks.
- While the chicken is removed, add the brown sugar to the pan and stir until the sugar has melted, the sauce will no longer feel gritty.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pan and toss to coat in the BBQ sauce.
- Place the lid on the pan and turn the heat off.
- Cut the Hawaiian rolls in half and butter the insides of the rolls.
- Broil in your oven until golden brown.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken onto the bottom half of the Hawaiian roll.
- Top with the slices of cheddar cheese and then put the top of the Hawaiian rolls on to complete the sandwich.
- Serve warm + enjoy!
Notes
