Assemble the Sandwich
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken breasts if desired. On each hamburger bun, place a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and then top with the grilled BBQ chicken. Add pickles if desired. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bun.
