1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
1 cup tomato slices
1/2 cup sliced red onion
Instructions
Pat dry chicken breasts and toss with 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
Marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature
Preheat grill/skillet to medium-high heat

Let rest 5 minutes
Toast buns on grill until lightly browned
Add cheese to warmer buns, let melt for 1-2 minutes
