Ingredients
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Your favorite barbecue sauce
- 4 brioche buns
- Coleslaw (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Grill the seasoned chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Brush the grilled chicken generously with barbecue sauce and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
- While resting, toast the brioche buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the toasted bun bottoms; add more barbecue sauce if desired.
- Top with coleslaw if using, then assemble your sandwiches.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Use whole-grain buns for a healthier option.
Leftover chicken can be stored separately from bread for optimal freshness.
