Brushed and Baked BBQ Chicken Rolls
I was originally inspired by this recipe that I found online (it was delicious, btw). I decided to take it in a different direction and the end result was sensational! I'm only judging by the groans of ecstasy from every quadrant of the dinner table, but they're usually pretty reliable food critics.Ingredients
24 rolls
Mayonnaise
Baked chicken breasts, shredded
BBQ sauce of your choice (I'm a sucker for KC Masterpiece Hickory Brown Sugar)
Cheddar or provolone cheese, shredded or sliced
Brush Sauce
1/4 c. melted butter
1 Tbs mustard
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
Optional Toppings
Lettuce
Tomatoes
Sliced apples
Cole slaw
Carmelized onions
Avocado
Directions
Mix together shredded chicken with bbq sauce until well coated. Slice rolls in half. Spread of mayo on the inside of each roll. Assemble rolls with bbq chicken and cheese. Place assembled rolls on a cookie sheet. Mix together the melted butter, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce with a whisk. Brush this mixture all over the tops of the rolls (OR just on the inside of the sandwich for a less messy variation) and cover with tin foil. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes until heated through. Peel open sandwiches and add additional toppings as desired.
**I no longer use poppy seeds when making this recipe. They don't add a ton of flavor, but they add an astounding mess, so we've dispensed with them.
