Sandwiches always fit perfectly in any party, be it as an appetizer or a main course dish, it can turn out to be lip smacking combos when paired with the right sides. This chicken sandwich is tender and juicy, caramelized with the flavour from onion and garlic, and cooked to perfection with the barbecue sauce.

I have used Pappy’s Original BBQ sauce in this recipe. Its taste can be described like an explosion of sweet, smoke and light tanginess!! I got introduced to this sauce after our visit to Pappy’s Smoke house, which is the best Memphis style BBQ restaurant in St. Louis, and is an insanely awesome place for all BBQ lovers. The restaurant is quite famous and has been visited and aired by television shows like “Man Vs Food” host Adam Richman, and was listed as one of Americas best BBQ joints. Anyone visiting Saint Louis area, Pappy’s is a great choice for an eatery, trust me – you won’t be disappointed.

The big advantage of this sandwich is that it can be prepared in advance. And all you need to do later is to arrange the mix on top of your choice of bun, drizzle some more barbecue sauce if you love the extra smoky sweetness, and top it off with some creamy coleslaw and pickled cucumber.

I was new to both and a bit confused as to cook what, that’s when the idea of trying an appetizer came to my mind. Nachos seemed to be perfect choice, and so for a change from our usual entrees or the regular guacamole combo, thought of trying something new.

Here is my loaded nachos, with shredded chicken and veggies, in barbecue sauce and lots of cheese.

An easy appetizer… cheesy, sweet, and yum !!!

Tomato                              : 1 big (finely chopped)
Onion                                 : 1 big (finely chopped)

4. Add barbecue sauce to the shredded chicken and mix well. You can vary the quantity of sauce according to your preference, I used 1 cup of sauce with 2 pounds of chicken. Keep it aside.
5. In an oven proof skillet, put a layer of nachos first and then top with the barbecue chicken mix, vegetables. Layer mozzarella cheese on its top. Layer a second set of nachos and repeat the chicken, veggies and cheese.
