Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked shredded chicken I used the already shredded rotisserie chicken that I found in the deli section of my grocery store
  • ¼ cup barbecue sauce any kind (my favorite is Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory and Brown Sugar sauce)
  • 1 bun sliced horizontally
  • 2 slices swiss cheese
  • 3 red onion rings about 1/4 of a red onion cut into rings

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • In a small bowl, combine shredded chicken and barbecue sauce. Stir to mix well.
  • Spoon chicken onto bottom half of bun. Top with cheese, red onion, and top of bun.
  • Place onto a small baking pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt and bun is lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is specifically tested as an individual serving meal. However, if you're cooking for a family of two (or more) double (or quadruple, etc.) the ingredient amounts and this will work for you, too!
