Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it rest.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook until crispy. Once cooked, remove and drain on paper towels. Reserve some bacon fat in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken has cooled slightly, shred it using two forks and return it to the skillet. Add the Chipotle Bourbon BBQ Sauce and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes, mixing well to combine.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the potato buns lightly. On the bottom half of each bun, place a generous portion of the pulled chicken mixture, top with crispy bacon, and a slice of pepper jack cheese. Cover with the top half of the bun.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
