A delicious twist on traditional BBQ, these White BBQ Chicken Subs feature tender chicken mixed with a creamy white BBQ sauce, all stuffed into hearty French bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • White BBQ Sauce
  • 1/2 cup real mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon freshly cracked white pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon Creole mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 large garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • For the Sandwiches
  • 14 ounces chicken tenders (about 6–8 tenders)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, freshly shredded
  • 2 French bread sub rolls (about a 10-inch length each)
  • Extra white BBQ sauce for drizzling and dipping

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine all the white BBQ sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, white vinegar, white pepper, Creole mustard, salt, sugar, pressed garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, and paprika. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides. Add them to the hot pan and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook for about 3 more minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  3. When you flip the chicken, add the sliced shallots to the pan. Stir them around occasionally so they cook evenly alongside the chicken.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it cool slightly. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the cooked shallots, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, and about 1/2 cup of the white BBQ sauce. Mix everything together until well combined.
  5. Turn on your oven’s broiler to preheat. Slice the French bread rolls horizontally down the middle, leaving a hinge. Open the rolls and place them on a baking sheet.
  6. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the two sub rolls, stuffing it into the pocket. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the top of both sandwiches.
  7. Place the baking sheet with the assembled subs under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the hot subs from the oven and drizzle a little more white BBQ sauce over the top. Cut each sub in half crosswise to make four servings. Serve immediately with extra white BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • White BBQ sauce is an Alabama specialty that’s mayonnaise-based instead of tomato-based. It’s tangy, creamy, and perfect with chicken.
  • These subs are perfect for a quick dinner, game day, or a casual gathering. You can easily double the recipe to feed a crowd.
  • The white BBQ sauce can be made up to 5 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
