Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 bay leaf
1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste
1 pinch onion powder, or to taste
1 pinch poultry seasoning, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
1 cup salsa
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, or to taste
4 (2 ounce) hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Put chicken into a pot and fill water to cover by 1 inch. Add lime juice, bay leaf, garlic salt, onion powder, poultry seasoning, and pepper; bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While chicken is cooking, combine BBQ sauce, salsa, and cayenne in a medium bowl.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the pot and shred with 2 forks. Mix shredded chicken into the BBQ sauce mixture until fully covered.
  • Put a little mayo on each hamburger bun and pile the shredded chicken mixture on top.

The chicken was a little dry for my taste, but the BBQ sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for less time.

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. The chicken cooks in the slow cooker all day, so I can just come home and assemble the sandwiches. My family loves them!
