Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwich

I stole this recipe from my roommate- He also likes to cook. He makes amazing comfort food in a southern tradition. For example, this weekend he made a sinfully delicious peach and blueberry cobbler. He also cooks a tremendous amount of bacon. Nothing like waking up to the smell of bacon in the morning.

This recipe, however, is simple and perfectly healthy. Just the way I like it.




Ingredients
- Two large chicken breasts
-Your Favorite BBQ sauce (I use Sweet Baby Rays Original)
-Salt and Pepper
-Whole wheat bun
-THATS IT!

Directions
  1. Bring water to boil in a large pot. Salt water generously. 
  2. Once the water is boiling, place chicken breasts in the water and cook for around 20 minutes, until cooked all the way through.
  3. Remove chicken from water and place in a bowl. Take two forks and pull the chicken apart into thin strips. This will take a few minutes and a little determination, but the better you strip it up, the more it will look like you took hours to make it.
  4. Liberally coat in BBQ sauce. The Chicken will quickly soak up the BBQ so feel free to use a lot. Add salt and Pepper to taste.
  5. Place on a whole wheat bun and enjoy with a healthy side- save half of the BBQ chicken for a lunch Sandwich or wrap tomorrow.
  6. Lie to your friends and say this is an old family recipe that takes 8 hours to make.
  7. Remind yourself it only took 25 minutes to make as you eat it.
