BBQ Chicken Sandwiches (Fast and Easy using store bought items)

I was looking over the Real Simple website and saw this picture. It caught my eye because I've been craving a BBQ sandwich lately! This one calls for a rotisserie chicken, which you can get at almost any grocery store these days, but you know I'm going to also suggest that you can roast your own chicken and then shred it. *grin* I can't help it! It's the way my brain thinks.

Actually, my 'quick and easy' version involves some precooked 'grilled' chicken strips I bought at Costco last week for salads and wraps but I know it will be absolutely yummy in this.


BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

1 3 1/2- to 4-pound rotisserie chicken, meat shredded (about 5 cups)
1 to 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
1/4 cup pickled jalapeƱos, roughly chopped (optional)
4 hamburger buns
Potato chips (optional)

In a bowl, combine the chicken, barbecue sauce, and jalapeƱos (if using). Divide the mixture evenly among the bottoms of the buns and sandwich with the tops. Serve with potato chips (if using).

Yield: Makes 4 servings
