BBQ Chicken Sandwiches make an easy and delicious meal! Made with shredded chicken tossed in a flavorful BBQ sauce! Always a favorite!
If you are looking for a quick and easy, absolutely delicious recipe that people always go nuts over, then friends, these Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches are for you! It can be our secret just how easy they really are to make.
You see, I began making these sandwiches years ago. We would stand over the grill making our BBQ Grilled Chicken to then go inside and shred it for these sandwiches. And they were absolutely delicious. But you guys, I discovered an even easier way to make it that tastes just as scrumptious!
Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches Recipe
I begin with my Easy Shredded Chicken that I use for so many recipes. It truly is a favorite at my house!
Shredded Chicken
To start, cook your chicken following one of the three methods included the Easy Shredded Chicken recipe. I provide how to cook it on the stovetop, in a slow cooker or using your Instant Pot.
BBQ Sauce
Add your favorite BBQ sauce to the shredded chicken. We love to use my homemade BBQ sauce. It is simple as can be and ready in minutes! I love to make it ahead and keep in the refrigerator to use in so many recipes throughout the week.
Optional Favorite Toppings
Coleslaw – We love to pile fresh coleslaw on top of our sandwiches. It adds just the right amount of texture and crunch!
Pickles – You can’t go wrong with dill pickle slices on top of these sandwiches. The bite of the dill pickles perfectly complements the BBQ sauce.
Lettuce – A fresh leaf of Bibb lettuce is just perfect.
Tomato – A thick slice of a beefsteak tomato is delicious on these chicken sandwiches.
Avocado – If you love avocado, the creaminess is amazing in these sandwiches.
Here’s my Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches recipe. I hope you love ’em!
