BBQ Chicken Sandwiches is there anything more American than that? We don’t think so which is why we are sharing one of our favorite recipes with you today.
This is one of my new favorites! This was so simple and so delicious. I love how everything just cooked in one pot. You could also double this without much effort if you needed to feed a larger crowd. Most of these ingredients are going to be in your pantry or your freezer. Publix had BBQ sauce on sale this week. In fact, some brand is usually on sale most weeks. This is the perfect recipe for summer barbecues. And the best part is that it cooks inside on the stovetop. So you won’t have to cancel your plans if we experience afternoon thunderstorms!
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches Recipe:
BBQ Chicken Sandwiches Ingredients:
salt and pepper
1-1/2 cups chicken broth (or water)
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1-1/3 cups BBQ sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
hot pepper sauce
6 buns or rolls, split
shredded cheese (optional)
How To Make BBQ Chicken Sandwiches:
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in a heavy pot with the onion, garlic and just enough chicken broth to cover (about 1-1/2 to 2 cups). Add the BBQ sauce, vinegar and a few drops hot sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes. Remove the chicken from the sauce and shred with two forks or your fingers.
Boil the sauce, uncovered until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Season with pepper. Add the shredded chicken and heat through. Spoon the mixture onto the rolls and top with cheese.
Enjoy!
