BBQ Chicken Sandwich | Recipe (2024)

A BBQ chicken sandwich recipe featuring pan-seared chicken, bacon, onions, melty Colby Jack cheese and barbecue sauce. A fast and easy quick-fix dinner idea.

Honestly,this sandwich is probablyperfectly capable of speaking for itself, and doesn't really require that much help on my behalf, cause I mean...come on...just look at it. I drool.

But, just in case you'd like a little background on it's origin, I'll proceed a just a bit further.When I was creating this recipe, I had my easy homemade BBQ sauceon the brain(and in the fridge). I make up a quick batch every timewe throw a little backyard barbecue shin-dig, which is actually pretty often, as my husband is one serious barbecue aficionado.

The truth is, he's sort of a purist when it comes to smoked meat. He likes it plain jane, sliced with nothing on top of it. I, on the other hand, will take any excuse to smother thingsinsauce. Sorry husband. I love you, but I kind of love sauce more. And, bacon. Really love bacon, too.

And, for a manwho could give or take sauce, my husband sure did devour this little devil pretty quickly. Cause as I mentioned before, there's bacon. And, as if you weren't sold, already, I'll keep going.

This sandwich is basically flavor, on flavor...on flavor. It begins with thick-cut, pan-seared bacon. Once those little crispies come out, the chicken goes in. Chicken cutlets to be more precise. Chicken cutlets are thinly sliced chicken breasts, and can typically easily be found with the rest of the chicken in the poultry section of the grocery store. Cutlets are perfect for this recipe as they cook up quickly, and are the perfect thickness for a sandwich.

The cutlets quickly cook, come out of the pan, and the onions go in. The onions not only take on the leftover savory goodness left behind from the bacon but now have the added bonus of taking on all those beautiful, browned bits of chicken as well.

Set it all atop a soft, pillowy bun, top it with melty cheese and a drizzle of barbecue sauce and that's all she wrote...or all she needed to write? Either way, yum. Please, enjoy.
