Our BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
I’ve said it before and I will say it again, combine anything with bread or rice and it immediately becomes 100 times better! Shredded chicken on its own is tasty but to make a meal of it we need to do something with it. Well, these BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are the perfect complement to our Shredded Crock-Pot Chicken. All we did was throw some of our meal prepped shredded chicken onto a tasty Brioche Bun. Add some BBQ Sauce and a bit of Coleslaw for some crunch. These were SO GOOD and ridiculously easy to make. This would be the perfect meal for a busy weekday.
Ingredients, Substitutions, and Additions
Shredded Chicken – We like to meal prep on Sunday to get us ready for the week, so our Shredded Crock-Pot Chicken is perfect for this recipe. But you could make these with a rotisserie chicken from the store or even some sliced Fried Chicken Strips if you prefer.
Brioche Buns – We tried these Sara Lee Artesano Brioche Buns for the first time when we made these BBQ Chicken Sandwiches for this recipe. I don’t know where these have been my whole life, but I highly recommend them. They are soft and have a great flavor. That said, they are hard to find at my grocery store…probably because they are SO GOOD, so any hamburger bun or brioche bun is going to work just fine.
– To make our sandwich even better we like to toast each side with a bit of mayo.
BBQ Sauce – Whether you use Kinder’s, Sweet Baby Rays, Kraft…it doesn’t matter. Just pick your favorite BBQ Sauce and use that. This last time we went with Kinder’s Roasted Garlic. It was very tasty!
Coleslaw – Coleslaw is optional, depending on what your preferences are. However, we love the crunch it gives to our sandwiches and the extra bit of tangy flavor adds a whole new dimension to the BBQ Chicken Sandwich.
Preferred Pairings for BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
If you need some side dish ideas to go with your BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, we like to pair it with some Potato Salad, Cheesy French Onion Rice, or maybe a Baked Potato. Check out these options:
Loaded Potato Salad – If you love potato salad but want a new take on the classic, try our Loaded Potato Salad. Made with bacon, cheese, and topped with green and french fried onions. It’s too tasty to pass up.
Cheesy French Onion Rice – Looking for a tasty new side dish? Try this Cheesy French Onion Rice for your next dinner with the family.
Test Kitchen Baked Potatoes – Baked potatoes loaded with tons of topping are so good. Explore different baked potato toppings with us as we search for our new favorite combo.
