Treat your ingredients with care...

• Chicken breasts — Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before grilling to ensure they cook evenly.
• Barb sauce — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can adjust the amount of barb sauce according to your taste.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra smokiness, you can add a dash of liquid smoke to the barb sauce.
• If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven.
• Customize your sandwich by adding your favorite toppings, such as avocado, bacon, or cheese.
• Make a double batch of barb sauce and use it as a marinade for other meats or as a dipping sauce.
• Leftover chicken can be refrigerated and used in salads or wraps the next day.
