18Mar2014Shredded Chicken BBQ Sandwiches5.1K14 Shredded chicken simmers away in a homemade, tangy BBQ sauce and served over toasted potato rolls! It really amazes me how fast the year flies by. I know we’re only in March, but we’re two days away from the first day of spring – not that we would know it from the weather or anything! Before this morning’s 1 inch coating of snow, I did spot a hyacinth and daffodil beginning to sneak up out of the ground. Two of my favorite flowers. Spring is such an embodiment of hope, isn’t it? Hope that no matter how cold the winter may get, beautiful things are coming. I love that God does that. He takes a situation that really seems impossible, and not only accomplishes the tasks, but makes it even more beautiful than we could imagine. Yep. So what does this have to do with these Shredded Chicken BBQ Sandwiches? Spring it coming, people! I can just see you with your family on a blanket spread out on the grass, letting the kids run around in the warm weather with some of these sandwiches fixed up for them. I hope you are as excited for spring as I am! Shredded Chicken BBQ Sandwiches makes 8 sandwiches 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts – cooked and shredded 1 cup ketchup 1 3/4 cup water 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons dried, minced onion 1 teaspoon chili powder 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese 8 hamburger rolls (potato rolls are best for these) In a stockpot, combine chicken, ketchup, water, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced onion, and chili powder. Heat it until bubbling, and then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer about 25 minutes. Prepare rolls by placing them open face on a cookie sheet. Place one slice of cheddar on half of each sandwich roll. Put rolls under broiler 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and rolls are toasted – keep a close eye as they can burn quickly! Serve chicken on toasted rolls. These sandwiches are SO good! The combination of the ingredients gives it a sweet and tangy BBQ flavor – yum!
