How to Make Bbq Chicken And Cheddar Sandwiches

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook chicken in the bacon grease over medium-high heat for 4 minutes per side, until browned.
  5. Flip chicken, add BBQ sauce and water to the skillet.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce has thickened slightly.
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  8. Arrange onion rolls, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  9. Divide chicken evenly among the bottom halves of the rolls.
  10. Top each sandwich with BBQ sauce, a slice of cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon.
  11. Bake open-faced sandwiches for 4-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the rolls are lightly golden brown.
  12. Top each sandwich with the other roll halves and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
