Easy to do dinner/lunch idea with left over chicken or w/ one of those rotisserie chickens from the store - use your own BBQ sauce or already pre-made, add your cheese on toasted heart bread - its a quick winner with wow taste your family will love.
Ingredients

- ********* shopping list
- For a version of my Super Tangy BBQ Sauce yields 1-1/2 cup BBQ sauce: shopping list
- 1 small onion, chopped fine shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves minced shopping list
- juice of 2 limes shopping list
- 3 tablespoons lite mayonnaise shopping list
- 2 tablespoons molasses shopping list
- 2 tablespoons honey shopping list
- 3 tablespoons spicy mustard shopping list
- 2 tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- 2 tablespoons butter shopping list
- 2 or 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce shopping list

- 1/4 cup water or vinegar (try apple cider vinegar) shopping list
- microwave or broiler to heat chicken through and to melt cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Shred chicken with fingers like you would if making pulled pork and place into bowl and set aside.
- If using pre-made BBQ sauce, add 2 tablespoons per 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken to bowl.
- If making your own BBQ sauce or doing mine:
- Add olive oil to pan, add onions, let saute till yellow, then add garlic and allow to cook for one minute.
- Add remaining ingredients, stir till combined and let cook for 15 minutes on a low simmer or longer.
- Add a little of the BBQ sauce to chicken and stir so that each piece of chicken is coated - don't over do it, you will want to save sauce for dipping...as I did - lol
- Toast rolls or bread slices, then rub garlic on insides of bread for extra flavor.
- Assemble chicken onto one side of toasted roll/bread then add sliced cheese of your choice - great choices include cheddar, goat, gouda, swiss, etc.
- Place on safe broiling pan or microwavable plate and heat through till cheese has melted.
- If using the microwave, you will do better to heat at 50% power for a longer period, so that the cheese gets the chance to melt slowly versus just bubble down away from the chicken.
- Add additional sauce on top of melted cheese, add the top of the roll or slice of bread - and serve with your fave side.
- Recipe adapted from one I saw on foodnetwork last week.
- I served mine up last night with NotYourMommas Garlic Rosemary Oven FF's - oh yeah - and oh no, I did not tell my doctor!
