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.
