Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

 

 

I so totally left you guys hanging there!

In my last post, I promised you 2 recipes from 1 store bought rotisserie chicken. I gave you the soup and then, poof, I vanished.

Sorry about that, guys!

I promise you it was worth the wait!

I mean, look at that glorious pile of barbecue chicken and side of sweet potato fries!

This recipe is super easy, and super perfect for a cold, rainy day. So if you’re in the Northeast and getting hit by winter storm Damon, get ready for a cozy dinner to curl up with.

Okay, remember the chicken hubs shredded?

Well, it is the star of today’s show.

Get the show started by slicing a medium white onion and dropping it into a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook until softened.

In the meantime, pour some store bought cole slaw mix (it’s with the salad stuff – a bag of shredded cabbage and carrots) into a bowl and add a splash of apple cider vinegar. Pop in the fridge to chill. The cabbage provides a nice refreshing crispness, and the apple cider vinegar cuts through the fatty richness of the barbecue chicken.

When the onions are nice and browned, toss in your chicken. A few handfuls, depending on how many sandwiches you’re making.

Give it a big stir and let the chicken and onions cook together for 5-10 minutes.

Next, add a few tablespoons of your favorite barbecue sauce and stir.

Let this cook together for another 5 minutes or so.

Then, assemble your sandwich!

Pile high with chicken, coleslaw and some avocado slices.

Add some extra barbecue sauce if you like things saucy ; ).
