Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
• ½ cup low-sugar BBQ sauce
• 4 whole wheat buns
• For the Spicy Jalapeño Avocado Spread:
• 1 avocado pitted
• 1 small jalapeño seeded and diced (keep the seeds for more heat)
• juice of ½ a lime about 1 tablespoon
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

Optional*:

• lettuce
• tomato
• thin-sliced provolone cheese

Instructions

• Place the chicken in a pot large enough to hold it all, and fill the pot with enough water (or chicken stock) to cover the chicken by about 1-2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat.
• When the water comes to a boil, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reads 165 ℉.
• Using tongs, remove the chicken and reserve on a plate. When it is cool enough to touch, shred it and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce together, tossing with tongs to evenly coat.
• To prepare the Spicy Jalapeño Avocado Spread: combine all of the ingredients together in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• To assemble the sandwiches: place about a heaping ½ cup on each bottom bun and evenly spread the Jalapeño Avocado Spread on each top bun, then sandwich together.
