ingredients

4 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed
salt and pepper
1 cup barbecue sauce (Sweet Baby Ray)
1 chipotle chile, minced
¹⁄₄ cup water
4 large buns or 4 large French rolls, split in half
1 ¹⁄₂ 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese or 1 1/2 cups longhorn cheese
green onion, sliced thin

directions

Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 400 degrees.
Fry bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large paper towel-lined plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in bacon fat until browned on one side, about 4 minutes.
Flip chicken and add barbecue sauce, chile and water. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and slice crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
Arrange buns cut side up on baking sheet. Divide chicken among bottom halves of rolls and top with sauce, cheese, bacon and green onions. Bake open-faced sandwiches in oven until cheese melts and buns are golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Top each sandwich with toasted roll top. Serve.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
