Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (grilled or rotisserie)
- 4 sub rolls
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) prepared horseradish
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Lettuce (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
- Pickles (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a tangy white BBQ sauce by blending mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sugar, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and well-integrated.
- Shred the chicken and thoroughly coat it with approximately half of the prepared white BBQ sauce, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Gently toast the sub rolls until they achieve a light golden-brown color and develop a slight crispness, about 2-3 minutes.
- Layer the sauce-coated chicken generously onto the toasted sub rolls, creating a hearty base for the sandwich.
- Enhance the sub’s texture and freshness by adding crisp lettuce leaves, ripe tomato slices, and optional tangy pickles on top of the chicken.
- Elevate the flavor profile by drizzling the remaining white BBQ sauce over the assembled subs, allowing the sauce to cascade down the ingredients and provide an extra burst of zesty goodness.
- Serve immediately while the rolls are still warm and the ingredients are fresh, ensuring maximum taste and enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the heat by adjusting horseradish amount for a milder or spicier kick.
- Make the sauce ahead and refrigerate for deeper flavor development, letting ingredients meld together overnight.
- Swap shredded chicken with pulled pork or tofu for alternative protein options that work beautifully with white BBQ sauce.
- Opt for whole wheat or gluten-free rolls to accommodate different dietary needs without compromising taste.
