A flavorful twist on classic BBQ sandwiches, these White BBQ Chicken Subs feature juicy chicken tenders, sautéed shallots, melty Monterey Jack cheese, and a creamy, tangy Alabama-style white BBQ sauce—all tucked inside toasted French bread.
Ingredients
Scale
For the White BBQ Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- ½ tbsp white pepper
- ½ tbsp Creole mustard
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 tsp horseradish
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp paprika
For the Sandwich:
- 14 oz chicken tenders
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt & pepper
- 2 large shallots, sliced
- 1½ cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 French bread subs
- ~½ cup white BBQ sauce (plus more for serving)
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients for the white BBQ sauce and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Cook chicken tenders in a saute pan with some salt and pepper, until done. Add shallots about half way through cooking the chicken.
- Let chicken tenders cool until it can be handled. Chop chicken and place it in a mixing bowl.
- Add cooked onions, cheese and white BBQ sauce to the chicken. Mix well.
- Slice bread in the middle to stuff it. (Don’t cut all the way through.)
- Divide chicken mixture between the subs.
- Sprinkle some more cheese over the top.
- Place subs on a baking sheet and pop them under a broiler until cheese is melted. (Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.)
- You can drizzle a little more white BBQ on top and serve right away.
Notes
- Chill sauce for at least 15 mins before using.
- Use high-quality mayo for best flavor.
- Rotisserie chicken can substitute for tenders.
- Toasting inside of rolls prevents sogginess.
- Add pickled jalapeños for heat.
