Ingredients
- 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth or water
- 4 whole-grain hamburger buns, split
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1/2 cup peeled and shredded carrot
- 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar
Preparation
- In a large zip-top bag, combine chicken, hot sauce, oil and salt and pepper. Shake to coat and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or overnight for stronger flavor.
- Heat a medium skillet on medium-high. Add chicken and any hot sauce mixture from bag and cook, turning once, until browned, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add broth. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Remove chicken from sillet; use 2 forks to finely shred chicken. Return to pot and cook uncovered for 10 more minutes, until sauce thickens.
- Toast buns and divide chicken mixture, lettuce and carrot among halves. Top with cheese, dividing evenly.
