    BBQ Chicken Sandwich

    This is really more of a dinner idea than a recipe, but when I saw it in Everyday Foods a few years ago I thought it was a great idea and I’ve been making it on busy nights ever since. The original recipe used leftover chicken from Thyme-Roasted Chicken, but I often buy a roast chicken from Sam’s Club or Costco. I use most of the breast meat to make BBQ Chicken Sandwiches and then use the skin, bones and dark meat to make quick homemade Chicken Noodle Soup another night.

    Ingredients

    • 2 roasted chicken breasts shredded
    • ¾ cup barbecue sauce KC Masterpiece is my favorite
    • 4 hamburger buns or rolls toasted

    Instructions

    • Place shredded meat and sauce in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated, 4 to 5 minutes. (Usually I just microwave the meat and sauce in a microwave safe dish until heated.) Add more barbecue sauce if needed. Serve on split, toasted hamburger buns or rolls.

      What a great idea! It would work wonderfully with leftover roasted chicken of any kind as well. Will have to remember that next time I roast one! KC Masterpiece is one of my fav's as well (I'm from Kansas City, so maybe that's why I'm partial to it).

      Aren't Costco chicken the best! I know I can always whip up a good, tasy meal when I have one in the fridge. Love this quick and easy sandwich

      I love how you styled the photo! We buy a rotisserie chicken almost every week and my husband always has a sandwich with BBQ sauce.
