Quick Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches

With several rehearsals for my upcoming ballet keeping me busy, I've been trying to keep dinners as easy as possible. Yesterday the husband and I made these bbq sandwiches that I found in Betty Crocker's Healthy New Choices cookbook. Along with a bag of steamed veggies that I threw in the microwave, we had a complete meal in a about 5 minutes.

Quick Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches (6 servings at 4 points a piece)

Ingredients:

1 cup barbecue sauce
3 packages (2.5 ounces each) sliced smocked chicken, cut into 1-inch strips (3 cups)
6 hamburger buns, split

Directions:

Mix barbecue sauce and chicken in 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until hot. Fill buns with chicken mixture.

These sandwiches were great. It's funny how this dish can be so simple, and yet it's something I probably would never have thought to do. A nice addition to the dish, if you don't mind the extra points, would be to melt some cheddar cheese on top. It would really be a nice touch, and compliment the smoky barbecue flavor well.

If you need dinner STAT, I would definitely recommend these sandwiches. They are quick and delicious, and can't be beat :)
