Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Parmesan Crusted Bun
BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Parmesan Crusted Bun is easy to make with leftover chicken and the bun is epic with that parmesan crusting - no soggy bun here!
Ingredients
Parmesan Crusted Buns
- 4 brioche buns I've used regular hamburgers too and they work great
- 2 tbsp soften butter
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Pulled BBQ Chicken
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2-3 tbsp bbq sauce
Coleslaw
- Apple Coleslaw - I used a packaged prepared bag
Instructions
Parmesan Crusted Buns
- Start by heating up your griddle. My griddle takes about 6-8 minutes to heat up. You can also use a skillet, which should only take 2-4 minutes to heat.
- Open your buns and spread the softened butter onto each side. Sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese and then use a knife to spread the cheese into the butter.
- Once the griddle or skillet is hot place buttered side down, and press lightly so the surface of the bun gets equal heat. Watch closely as it will only take 1-2 minutes for the bun to brown. I find that a thin-edged, metal spatula is the easiest way to keep that great parmesan crust intact.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
