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.

Serving advice

Serve the Chicken Barb Sandwich with a side of coleslaw or potato salad for a complete and satisfying meal.

Presentation advice

To make the sandwich visually appealing, arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles neatly on top of the grilled chicken breast. Secure the sandwich with a toothpick to hold it together.
