Pulled Chicken BBQ Sandwich

Submitted by: INFJMJ

Introduction

This low-calorie, low-fat version of the classic bbq sandwich will be a new family favorite! This low-calorie, low-fat version of the classic bbq sandwich will be a new family favorite!
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    * 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    * A dash of salt and pepper
    * 14 Tbsp (about a half bottle) KC Masterpiece Low Calorie Classic Blend BBQ Sauce
    * 6 whole wheat hamburger buns

Directions

Place chicken breasts, along with salt and pepper to taste, in a large pot of water and boil until fully cooked through. (Time will vary depending on whether you are using fresh or frozen chicken.)


Once the chicken is cooked, use a fork to pull the meat apart so it is thickly shredded. (Shredding too finely will cause the sandwich to become mushy once sauce is added.) Place pulled chicken in a large bowl.


Add a half bottle (approx. 7 servings worth, or about 14 tbsp.) of BBQ sauce. Toss until chicken is coated.


Distribute chicken evenly onto buns. You may choose to toast the buns first, or add toppings like lettuce or red onion to the mixture, or spread a small amount of the sauce right onto the bun before assembling. This delicious alternative to the classic bbq sandwich will be a hit any way you serve it!


Makes about 6 sandwiches

Number of Servings: 6

    Merita Lite wheat hamburger and hotdog buns only have 80 calories each, and would cut down on the calorie count. I would probably simmer the chicken breasts in a little chicken broth, which I would later use for soup or to cook cabbage, cauliflower or broccoli. - 8/8/07

    Consider open faced sandwiches to cut down on half the carbs/calories from the buns. I definately recommend toasting buttered buns w/a sprinkle of garlic powder on a griddle before assembling. Would be great with roasted asparagus! - 9/14/07

    I use a lot less BBQ sauce and no salt since the BBQ sauce has plenty. I put it on Arnolds Wheat Sandwich Thins at 100 calories for a top and bottom bun. (I use the sandwich thins for all my sandwiches now - it's delicious!) This makes a great breakfast sandwich and it's really filling. - 7/29/09

    Excellent dish! I added sauted onions and the chicken in a skillet rather than boiling it. I also toasted the buns. - 6/18/09

    I have made this before but I used a low carb wrap and another friend of mine used romaine lettuce leaves and we both agree this is an awesome recipe, try a splenda brown sugar in with the BBQ sauce it is too die for! - 5/6/09

    We have been making this for awhile now. Very good and just another way to serve chicken for variety. I leave my chicken in the crockpot on low for 6 hours or so and then shred. So easy! - 3/30/09

    Didn't have low cal bbq sauce but used regular kraft bbq sauce (3 tbsp per 3 oz of shredded chkn) and I really liked it! Husband said 3 tbsp of sauce was too strong and recommends less sauce next time but loves the food! Very easy to prep and make with boiled frozen chicken breasts (10-15 min prep). - 6/2/09

    Easy, and tasted great, but when I added up the calories, I got 437 per serving. Ouch! The buns I bought were 200 calories, plus 120 gms of chicken, and about 3.5 tbs sauce (105 calories). With lower-cal buns, I would definately make it again - just be aware of what you are putting in the pot! - 7/30/07

    We really loved this! I used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce; only used 12 TBSP which was fine for us; also found 100 cal whitewheat buns so this came out to be a fairly low calorie meal. It definitely tasted delicious and will be a great weeknight meal if the breasts are boiled the night before. Thanks! - 8/2/09

    I do this and just put the chicken in the slow cooker, then shred it and add the BBQ sauce. Ilike it better than beef or pork. - 5/6/09

    This was really good. I was a little apprehensive about the boiled chicken part ... but it tasted much better than my brain thought it would! But the key is to have a GREAT BBQ sauce! Thanks for sharing such an easy meal with us! - 2/4/09
