1
Prepare the Chicken
Shred the cooked BBQ chicken into small pieces and set aside.
2
Char the Onion
Slice the onion into thin rings. In a pan over medium-high heat, char the onion until it’s slightly browned and soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3
Chop the Cilantro
Finely chop the cilantro and set aside for garnish.

4
Mix the Sauces
In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce and cowboy sauce. Stir well until fully mixed.
5
Layer the Ingredients
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the sauce mixture on the bottom. Then, layer the shredded BBQ chicken evenly over the sauce.
6
Add Cheese and Onions
Sprinkle half of the house-blend cheese over the BBQ chicken, then add the charred onion slices on top. Finish by adding the remaining cheese.

7
Bake the Yardbird
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the assembled dish in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8
Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
